Food and Wine Pairing Tips



Food and Wine Pairing Tips 101: Salty Food should pair with High Acidity wine.

We tasted this Western Australia Margaret River wine last night – Semillon 2010. A light body wine, dry and crisp with very strong harsh acidity. Initial rating 69 points. However, using the food and wine pairing tips 101, we were fortunate to be having Salty Baked Chicken (盐炬鸡) for dinner. The combination is excellent, the wine suddenly rates closer to 80 points. Great pairing. Upon finishing the chicken, the wine quickly decline back to its 69 points. That’s unfortunate. :)
