Pasta Pairing Tips

 

When it comes to pasta and pairing wine, the sauce determines everything.

For a tomato-based sauce, a spicy red wine such as Shiraz is best. For rich meat sauces, try a fuller-bodied red such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon.

Making a light seafood sauce? A crisp white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc, will complement the shellfish beautifully. For a sweeter or spicy sauce, White Zinfandel will balance the dish’s acidity.

Creamy sauces, such as Fettuccine Alfredo, call for a crisp white wine to help cleanse the palate, but also one that is rich enough to stand up to the flavors. Not to worry, Chardonnay will do the trick!
