The Perfect Wine to Compliment Seafood
♫ Monday, August 2nd, 2010Chardonnay is a great way to make sure your wine is a great compliment to your dish. Chardonnay is best with a seafood that uses a creamy sauce. This may turn out to not be a great choice if your using multiple seafood items for your meal.
German Riesling wine is a great overall wine to add to a seafood meal, because it is extremely mild in taste compared to most and it will bring out the flavors of the seafood. German Riesling has been known to have lingering taste which helps greatly with oysters and shrimp.
If you are looking for a wine to win over any seafood meal, sparkling wine is the way to go. It will compliment most meals, no matter how complex the dish is. Any fried seafood or any caviar will taste delicious with this wine. Sparkling wine, no matter where it comes from, also will be a favorite among guests who are not normal wine drinkers. It has been matched with all seafood from simple cooked oysters to very elaborate meals with almost a zero failure rate, which is something rarely found among wines.
Some seafood recipes will include a list of good wines with them; these typically are a proven wine that goes well so it is a good idea not to linger too far from the given wine. You don’t need to be wine expert to pick a good wine, but common sense will go along way when deciding on a wine to compliment your seafood.
