What’s a good food pairing for a dinner if I’m gonna serve my Dumol Chardonnay and Pinot Noir?
April 25th, 2010
I’m quite familiar with wine, but still bad with pairing, but love hearing suggestions. Obviously a burgundy tasting here, but I’m quite unfamiliar with french (Burgundy) food.
Doesn’t have to be that complicated.
As a rule, salad with a vinegarette dressing with the Chardonnay (strawberry vinegarette – sweet and sour to highlight the Chardonnay) and baked fish or roasted pork/lamb, even roasted herb chicken with the Pinot Noir.
or
Save the Chardonnay for after the meal and serve it with fruit (sliced apples/pears) and mild cheeses.
Pinot Noir is very flexible as it is a mild light red, especially if it’s a French one. As pointed out, it’s great with salmon as long as it isn’t just steamed or lightly flavoured with herbs like dill, needs a little more than that.

I hear a lot of people pairing wine with anything seafood. I used to work at Carino’s Italian and people usually paired it with Pasta or some sort of seafood

I suggest grilled salmon. (Pinot & salmon is my favorite combo.)
