Unique & Well-Suited Cuisines to Pair with Your Wine Club Selection

If you are a member of a wine club you may wish to take advantage of the opportunity to make the best of each expertly chosen selection of wine sent to you each month. Pairing your wine club selections with unique yet, fitting cuisine matches is a wonderful way to take full advantage of your wine club selections. Here are some ideas of interesting and good wine pairings:

Sparkling wine is a magnificent match with sushi and sashimi. The strong acidity and the carbonation wonderfully counter the richness of the fish-oil in sushi and sashimi. Lower priced sparkling wine is suitable and Champagne may be a good choice if you wish to spend a little extra. Sushi also goes very well with Chablis. The heightened crispness of Chablis allows for a favorable pairing with sushi.

Some experts suggest pairing Thai food with gewürztraminer, which is a white wine flavored with lychee nuts, flowers and spices. These tastes create for an exceptional match with the strong contradicting flavors that exist in Thai food. Thai food also goes well with sauvignon blanc.

Those interested in bringing their expertly chosen wine club selections to their favorite Chinese restaurant would find exceptional results by pairing the cuisines with viognier, riesling and gewürztraminer. These are wines with a high level of acidity, which is suitable for the sauces and seasonings used in Chinese cuisine.

Though pairing wine club selections with Asian food is outside of the general norm, it doesn’t mean that the ventures above mentioned and other unique and interesting wine matching will not be well worth it. Expand your horizons with your pairings as much as you have the ability to expand your taste in wine by being a member of a wine club and be a little experimental. You may find golden results.
