Wine & Food Pairing

Wine and Food pairings is an individual choice. Every person's sense of taste is different. In general, each person should decide for him or herself what combinations of wine and food taste good - don't worry about what anyone else says should work. Typically, you want to drink light-to-dark, just as when you plan a meal you start with delicate tastes and work towards heavier tastes. For this reason, Champagne tends to go very well with appetizers or opening courses in a meal. White wine is usually a match for salads and lighter dishes, while red wine works perfectly with steaks and heavier meat sauces. A port is often the perfect end to a meal, sipped with cheeses or a piece of chocolate cake.

The seminar will be held at Characters, and conducted by Wade, Domenic & Chef Shonn Oborowsky.

We will pair 5 courses with specific wines for each course. We will discuss what effect the ingredients in each course made on our wine selections.  Portions will be bite size and not designed as a full meal.
