Wine-Pairing Tips from Wine Merchants

From the many occasions when their recommendations have been asked, merchants have learned from experience that considering a certain wine to be the best is basically a subjective judgment. Considering that even these people who definitely know what they're talking about acknowledges that taste is relative, don't stress yourself out whenever you have to pick a bottle.
When serving wine for the holidays, the experts share this tip: roast turkey may be served with either red or white wine. So before pouring the liquid on a glass, common courtesy dictates that you ask first what the person prefers. If her or she doesn't know any better, you may then offer your suggestions. Experts say that either the fruity taste of Pinot Noir or the rustic appeal of Burgundy wine would make for a good match to the flavorful dish. Once you've done your part, let his or her taste buds decide.


Employ the same approach on different occasions whether or not you're dealing with the same person. Always remember that selecting the best wine is a matter of personal taste. In case your suggestion wasn't received well by your guest, don't take it personally. On those occasions, it's best to agree to disagree. There's got to be one wine for every palate. Sometimes, it takes several wrong sips before finding the one that tastes just right.
