Thematic Wine Pairing
Are you unsure which wine to serve with which foods? Generally, you should serve food and wine that share a likeness with one another. Whether it is an ethnic likeness, a color likeness, or a texture and body likeness, your wine and your food should complement one another.
Typically, tomato Italian dishes or beef with Italian herb dishes call for Italian red wines and creamy Italian dishes and Italian vegetable dishes call for Italian white wines. People in Italy have been making wine for as long as people have populated Italy, and they have developed their wines around their foods so pairing Italian foods with Italian wines is a natural match.
