Cabernet, What should I have with that Wine?

Going out for dinner with your friend, or planning a dinner party at home. You want your guesses to have a great time with you, you want the meal, the conversation and the WINE to be outstanding. Well, let’s think about this. Cabernet is very versatile wine, it has many great characteristics based on the terrior it comes from.

So , let’s look at pairing food with wine and understand that they should complement and enhance the flavors you are trying to have your palate experience. I am of the mind that wine is able to bend and blend with the food it is being served with. I like to use recipes that I have played with and had an experiment/ experience with. I will use great supporting ingredients that highlight notes and flavors. Sirloin Steak is a great place to start and with some added garlic and butter, the flavor of Cabernet tanin help work with the butter and meat to make a mouthful of taste, that you want to have another bite of.

This is just the beginning of the experience , the talk and stories will make the evening one that you won’t forget for a long time and at the heart of it was the great Cabernet you paired with that meal.

I’ll be back soon with some more chatter and pairing ideas!
