 Welcome to the Wine Guide 

 

Like your favorite foods, wine should be savored and enjoyed. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just enjoy a glass now and then, let us help you fully appreciate the experience. 

 

Use our Wine Guide to help select the right wine to compliment a dish, as well as learn about growing regions and wine types.

Pairing Food & Wine
What is food and wine pairing? It is the simple process of identifying wines with flavors and body that complement or contrast with the particular entrees you offer. Wine, made from grapes, is actually a food. Like other foods, wine has many distinct qualities; some wines are sweet, some fruity, and some, like a great steak, are heavy and robust. The key principle that always applies is this: There is NO one right or "perfect" wine choice when pairing food and wine. The main goal should always be to enhance the dining experience. 

Directions

1. Activate the guide by choosing your main dish. This is done by clicking and dragging the highlighted area to the food group you would like.
2. Choose the spice(s) using the same method as choosing your dish.
3. The wine selector will recommend a wine pairing for the food and spice you have selected. Click the wine to get details about the wine.

Within the Wine Guide you can also learn about wine types and growing wine regions.  

 

Growing Wine Regions
Wine is classified both by the type of grape used to make it and the region where the grapes were grown.

Wine Types
There are thousands of varieties of grapes grown worldwide. Most wines, however, come from the classic European grapes in the Vitis vinifera family.
