The best 4th of July Food and Wine Pairings
Think outside the box and impress your family and friends with wines that would make traditional dishes more appetizing and appealing!
SALADS
Potato salad: A tart dressing calls for a crisp wine to balance the acidity level. A Sauvignon Blanc will stand the fight, but if you want to try something new, look for a Torrontés. This aromatic wine will make you fall in love with its notes of white flowers and then will please your palate with refreshing acidity.
Pasta salad: All pasta salads are different, there are endless combinations of ingredients. However, if you add salty elements like feta cheese and olives, a Sauvignon Blanc would be a good pairing.
ON THE GRILL
There is nothing that says summer like an outdoor barbeque. Whether you choose a steak, burger, or chicken, a red wine would pair beautifully with it.
Something different? Try a Malbec Rosé. This wine has a good amount of acidity to it that stands up to grilled foods and can pair with a wide variety of dishes from seafood to grilled pork. It’s also a perfect match for veggie burgers or grilled turkey burgers.
DESSERTS
Add some bubbles! Lemon cake: A dry sparkling white wine would bring out the citrusy scent of lemon. It would also balance the creamy structure of the frosting.
The right wine can make your dishes stand out. That’s why we hope you enjoy these wine and food pairings ideas.
