Dinner and Wine

For some paring of food and wine we, myself and my girlfriend, went to a winery to try some wines. After we try them we then pick out favor three. Then we bought three different foods and pared then with each wine. This is what I got. 

In the two pictures above, the one on the left is what wines and food parings I did and the one on the right is a picture of my girlfriend. Now into the parring and tasting. 

Paring one: I pared this wine, which is a chardannly, with the sausage pizza. The wine smelled fruity with a hint of flower. It had a nice sharp taste to it, but was still well balance. The sausage really did bring out the sharpness and the tartness of the wine. However the crust was able to cool it off. I would not try this again, was not the best choice. But still was fun trying.

Paring two: I pared this wine, which is the vad blanc, with the winery special pizza. This wine was a very fruity tasting wine. It was a nice light wine as well, very good wine. With the winery special pizza, it really toned down the wines flavors of the berries and brought the acid out of the wine. The pizza was also good it had its own vinger which is why I think it brought out the acid of the wine. over all not bad at all.

Paring three: With this wine, which was a Concrod, I pared it with the cheese plate. This wine was cool because it was not the most common grape and this wine tasted just like grape juice, because of the concord grape which was AWESOME. It was so cool how I just learned about this grape last week and then I got to try the wine made from that grape. But onto the paring. The wine and the cheese went really well together. With the wine nice balance with the cheese just brought out the flavors of both really well. It was a great paring that i really enjoyed.

Over all it was really fun trying new wines with different food. Was a great time and I had a great time taking this class and writing this blog.
