Selecting the right wine for your dinner

I have a friend who loves to cook, and she is truly amazing, every dish you create spectacular. The problem (and indeed, there is no problem because they know me), is continually used the wrong wine in a particular dish. Now I am not a "blue blood", but I think that in the biblical verse, "take a little 'wine for the sake of your stomach." I think this should be done in moderation, and I have a bit 'of an expert. Here are some of myDecisions.

White Bordeaux is to buy low, usually a safe bet, even for beginners, and whether the plan is something at the supermarket, white is a far better opportunities Red minus (goes wrong). One of my favorites is Sainsbury's White Bordeaux, which has a touch of lemon and peach, with citrus, for good measure, perfect with seafood or a bowl of teriyaki (my friend makes a mean plate of teriyaki).

Here's a friend of mine has suggested, and to be honest I was skeptical, butproved to be wrong ... Capeland Chardonnay, I really liked this wine from South Africa, but to find some of the Peachy, nutty flavor and a bit 'unusual, I have some advice for an evening of wine tasting and a pinch of lime and fruit, which makes ideal wine before dinner.

California has long been the promised land, not just for movies but also for wine, this beautiful California wine country Mark "Overlook" Chardonnay, cost is a bit 'more, but in reality is the range of torment with figs, walnuts, cinnamonApples and flavors to surprise and satisfy. I have a friend who is usually a drinker of Jack Daniels, told me that this is a wine that reminded him of the whiskey is. I do not know whether to praise God, but they certainly make interesting conversation.

Okay, let's make a leap of faith in the land of red wines that start the risks, but also great opportunities to improve the taste and aroma. My heritage is Sicilian, and while I can not speak a word of Italian (which I have more thanCorrection), when I hear of a good wine of Sicily, in particular Zagara Nero d'Avola / Sangiovese, I know they are for an evening of experience and joy. This is a wine full of flavor and is suitable for many dishes, the taste is full of fruit, with hints of vanilla, flowers and cherries.

Not to be outdone, South Africa is again on the rise, with the possibility Fontein Cinsaut / Merlot, the wine is light, speaks of raspberry and spice. This is definitely for a dinner, or maybe sittingby an open fire in the late evening and the sun on the mountain. It 'a bit' creamy for my taste, but a praise of wine.

Now think back to the time of the conquistadors and Queen Isabella of Spain. I doubt that the Queen and his band of warriors errant thinking ViƱa El Salado, but it is a wine worthy of Spain with a deep, rich colors and scents that tickle and tease with blackberries and tannins. And 'soft and is a wine that could echo the biblicalVers ... "... A little 'wine for the sake of your stomach."

Well dinner is almost ready, the candles are lit, the men gathered around people, and my boyfriend is serving his kitchen, according to my choice to complete the lovely dinner. A sip, a smile, a vortex and the glasses are full of flavor and fragrance captures the senses and bring the senses alive.
