Wine and food

I think everyone over thinks what food it will go with a particular type of wine.  While many will tell you there are hard a fast rules, it is up to you to have a wine that you like.  You want the wine to complement the food and not over power it. There are times that I will use a red wine where normally a white would be the choice. But that is my preference. Always use a good wine and treat it right. Let it breath before you serve it.  Using a good to great wine does not always mean an expensive one.

Here is a great resource for you. Check out this site.

The site will give you everything you need to figure out what  wine you want to try. If you find a "go to" wine that you really like, then stick with it.  The Wine Police don't need to know!
