Pair Regional Wines with Regional Dishes

Commandment 7 - SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE

How many times have you heard, "pair Pinot Noir with duck or Cabernet Sauvignon with lamb?" While for the most part, these can be good suggestions; a good wine pairing takes into account more than just the meat or protein served in a dish. How many different ways can duck be prepared? How many recipes could you find for lamb? When pairing food and wine together, you need to see the big picture. Pair the wine not only to the protein, but also the sauce, vegetables, and starch in a dish. By taking the entire dish into account, you will be selecting a wine that will pair much more successfully with the whole plate.
