Holiday Wine Pairings

Andrew Lampasone, owner of Wine Watch boutique and  creator of “What I Drank Yesterday” YouTube series, explains what  to pair with some of your favorite holiday dishes.

MORE TIPS:

  1. Foods that are hard to pair with wine: “Asparagus, artichokes and brussel sprouts will make almost any wine hard to pair,”  Lampasone says.  He recommends avoiding using them in wine-pairing dishes.
  2. “If it’s a large group of people, keep it very vanilla-chocolate-strawberry,” he says, suggesting a simple wine like merlot. “Don’t go too eclectic on them.”
  3. As a general rule when pairing desserts with wine, the food should  not be sweeter than the wine.
