Cooking styles paired with wine Flashcards
Definitely a favorite fowl preparation method, especially for smaller birds like quail. This will make the meat very tender, but also preserves all of the intensity in flavor
Roasting
uses white wines such as Chardonnay, Rosé wine/Pinot Noir
Bumps the smoky flavors up, which makes it possible to pair with richer red wines like Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc or Malbec
BBQ
A technical prep style that preserves the texture and moisture in the meat but removes a lot of the flavor. Because of this, you can use light white wine such as dry Chenin Blanc
Poached
There’s nothing better than rose champagne or sparkling wine with this chicken
Fried
A preparation method that helps the breast meat absorb the flavors in the sauce
Sauté
Usually poached, boiled or roasted, and then chilled. Cold poultry tends to pair with lighter white wines like Albarino, Pinot Blanc
Chilled dishes
Leaner = ?
Lighter
the leaner the red meat, the lighter the red wine. Prime rib will pair nicely with a high tannin red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon
Fatty meats work great with?
bold red wines
that have high tannin
A lot more delicate in flavor than most beed, so you can select lighter and more delicate flavored wines
Malbec and Syrah
Lamb
Some culinary sources consider it white, some consider it red, but the important thing is this is one of the few meats that can match with white and rosé wine
ex. wiener schnitzel
Veal
Pinot Noir, Rosé, Zinfandel
Rich and sometimes gamey red meat and also pretty lean. Look for rustic medium-bodied red wines for this meat. When you put the two together, the wines will taste fruitier and meat will taste less gamey
