Wine and Food Matching

There are no hard and fast rules about selecting wines to match certain foods. The most important consideration is personal preference and if you like to drink pinot noir with everything from fish and chips to a slab of porterhouse, go right ahead. If you are looking for some general guidance, then a simple formula is to think about the weight or intensity of the food and select a wine that will have enough depth of flavour to provide a comfortable balance. Hearty food deserves a hearty wine and light and fresh food will taste better when paired with light and fresh flavoured wine.
