Balance and Harmony

Another important principle is that your food and wine should be in balance, complementing each other rather than competing for the attention of your taste buds. Strongly flavored dishes should be accompanied by robust wines, and delicate foods by more subtle wines. Food and wine should be in harmony, not competition.

Experiment

There are infinite combinations of food and wine to suit every taste. To find out which wine you and your guest enjoy most with a meal, try small samples of two or three different types. Then fill your glass with the one you like best!

Red Wine with Red Meats White Wine with White Meats?

Like many rules, this one is made to be broken. But it's a useful guideline because red wine and red meats are usually more flavorful than white wine and white meats or fish. Many people break this rule with new, unusual and delicious combinations of food and wine. For example, grilled salmon matches very well with a light red wine or a full-flavored white. Take your pick! Similarly, the "right" wine for pasta depends on the sauce: tomato-based, Alfredo, or others, and your taste. And with strongly flavored cheeses like bleu or gorgonzola, try some port and a late harvest wine to see which you like best.

The Best Wine is the Wine You Like Best

That may sound obvious, but it's also the most important rule. Some people like sweet wines, others dry; some like red, others white or blush. Wine is a beverage of many tastes which appeal to many different people. As with food or any other product, the best wine for you is the wine you like best, regardless of type, price, trends-or whatever anyone else might say. If you like it, it's good!
