Starting Small
Many people stick to white wine as reds can be a little hard for the novice to swallow. To ease you transition into red territory try a Merlot. A bottle of Merlot is usually a little on the sweet side, and has a smooth taste that. Look at the label on the bottle for a wine that is described as medium bodied, this is a great place to start your exploration of wine.
While the rules on pairing food and your favorite bottle of wine have changed dramatically in the last few years, a Merlot is always good with beef. Hearty dishes like casseroles and stews go well with Merlots. If you are taking a walk on the wild side with game such as venison then a Merlot is also a good choice.
The Shiraz is another winethat is pleasant on the palate. A Shiraz has fruiter flavors but there are certain vintages that can be a little on the spicy side. If you are comfortable drinking Merlots then this is the next step in your journey to be a connoisseur. Combination made after pairing spicy chili and Shiraz is good enough to present in barbecue.
Pinot noir is for the people who like something softer, with less spicy notes. These delicate wines are very pleasant and go well with poultry dishes. Whether you are serving chicken, duck, turkey, or even rabbit the Pinot Noir makes an excellent accompaniment.
Once you feel like you have a handle on the Merlot, Shiraz, and Pinot Noir it’s time to join the big boys and try a Cabernet Sauvignon. Being strongest in the type of wine, tannins can taste bitter to the people who have not initiated yet. Grilled meats and cheeses are the best foods to pair with a Cabernet Sauvignon.
