Steps
-
1Wine tasting method: SIGHT (color, clarity), NOSE (swirl and smell), PALATE (acidity, body, tannins). For true pairing, hold food and wine in mouth simultaneously.Tip: Theoretical pairings are guides — always verify by tasting together.~5 min
-
2Pairing 1 (Gewurztraminer by complement): tuna tataki with orange blossom gelatin and citrus ponzu relish.~25 min
-
3Pairing 2 (Chardonnay by complement): salmon tartar causa with vanilla pineapple. Keep lemon low to not overpower the wine's moderate acidity.Tip: Salmon fat complements Chardonnay's creamy, buttery notes.~20 min
-
4Pairing 3 (Rosé with Asian fusion): chicken and shiitake lettuce tacos in hoisin-peanut sauce with pickled napa cabbage.Tip: Rosé pairs brilliantly with soy-based, sweet Asian sauces — also try with chifa or sushi.~20 min
-
5Pairing 4 (Pinot Noir geographic): brie, Iberian chorizo, and duxelles sandwich with charcoal oil. Make charcoal oil by infusing white-hot embers in neutral oil (no flames!).Tip: Brie is the classic geographic pairing for Pinot Noir — both from Burgundy.~15 min
