Wine & Food Pairing

So, the eternal question..."What kind of wine will pair with this food?" 
Just to set your mind at ease, there are no absolutes.  I recommend drinking what you enjoy drinking with food you enjoy eating.
With that being said, there are a few rules that you can follow to help you get the most out of your wine and food pairing.   Like speaks to like. ​Try matching the weight of your food with the weight of your wine.  Choose a wine that will compliment your meal and enhance your dish.  If you are eating something big and bold, a light wine is going to be lost on your palate.  If you have a light meal, a heavy red will over power your food and your meal will lose it's taste.
Having a steak dinner with all the fixings?  A bold red wine will compliment your meal. 
On the other hand, if you are having a light meal such as fish or chicken, a sauvignon blanc or a chardonnay will pair well.  
A sweet wine will compliment a spicy meal.  A nice rose' with spicy Italian sausage...incredible.
I'll finish up by saying...EXPERIMENT!  If at first you don't succeed- try, try again.  There is so much information available on line, so if you are having a dinner party, "google" your appetizer, main dish, dessert and find out what the pros say.  Remember...there are no absolutes.  Enjoy what you drink!
