🍅 Pairing With Tomato-based Dishes 🍝

Tomato-based dishes can be quite tricky to pair with wines because of their high acidity levels. The best way to counter the acidity and make the wine pair perfectly is to choose a wine that is equally acidic. Red wines like Chianti, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese are perfect choices. A light, fruity white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc also complements tomato-based dishes!

🥕 Pairing With Vegetable Curry 🌶️

If you’re planning to cook a vegetable curry and are not sure what wine to pair it with, you’re in the right place. The rule of thumb when it comes to pairing wine with curries is to choose a wine that can stand up to the intensity of the spices. A full-bodied red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, or Zinfandel is perfect with veggie curry. If you prefer a white wine, opt for a Riesling or Gewürztraminer.

🍆 Pairing With Eggplant-Based Dishes 🍆

Eggplant-based dishes like Moussaka or Baba Ghanoush are some of our favorites. But when it comes to pairing wine, it’s not always easy! Light-bodied red wines like Grenache or Pinot Noir work wonders with eggplant-based dishes. If you prefer white wine, Chenin Blanc or Viognier complements the rich, earthy flavor of the eggplant well.

Corn-based dishes like corn chowder or corn fritters are comfort foods that can be paired perfectly with wine. A crisp, dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay brings out the freshness of the corn and the creaminess of the dish. When it comes to red wine, opt for a light to medium-bodied wine like Beaujolais or Pinot Noir.
