Food for Great Taste

When it comes to matching food and wine the possibilities are, of course, endless but the good news is that there are no right or wrong answers. One simple thing to keep in mind is "light food: light wine, heavier food: heavy wine".

Sure some combinations will be better than others, so we asked feature food blogger, Amy Sherman, to create a recipe specifically to bring out the best of food and wine. Enjoy these recipes or improvise and have fun.
