For this Spring and early Summer, gather some ideas for some great food and wine pairings.
1. Craving salads and such?
During the Spring and early Summer, fruits and vegetables begin to come-into season. There is nothing like a crisp salad with a young dry Riesling. Due to it's moderate levels of alcohol, Riesling makes a great Spring wine. If your more into salads topped with fresh fruits and berries, choose a young and chilled Pinot Noir.
2. Seafood Celebration!
With seafood, you don't want a wine that will overwhelm your pallet. Un-oaked Chardonnays pair well with fresh oysters and sushi. If your preparing to have other shellfish such as crab, shrimp or lobster, consider a Albarino wine. This wine, known as "Spain's seafood white", is great for seafood by the beach.
3. Early Summer BBQ!
There are many different wines that will pair with grilled foods. If your making grilled or BBQ chicken, a light Cabernet Franc or light Loire will match well. Also consider a Prosecco or sparkling wine for sipping with appetizers or for great chilled Bellini's.
