Get it right every time with these food pairing tricks
Did you know that red wine is actually harder to pair with food than white wine? Don’t let this fact deter you though…once you know how to get it right with a red blend, it is so worth it. Here are a few things to add to your cheat sheet when pairing an Italian red blend like Block 26.
Rule #1: Italian red wine is a match made in heaven for anything with red sauce. The more Italian the food, the better. Why? Because Block 26 has savory, herbal notes that will match the classic notes in your pasta dish like pepper and oregano. Plus, Block 26 has a nice acidity that will complement the acidity of your tomato sauce.
Rule #2: Match the weight of the meat you choose to the weight of your wine. Wine that packs a punch will pair better with heavier meats like steak and lamb. Lighter reds will be better off alongside chicken, turkey, and salmon. Try Block 26 with classic spaghetti and meatballs, eggplant parmesan, herb-roasted chicken, or pizza.
