The rule for salty dishes, which ham often is, is generally to choose a slightly sweet wine with full fruit flavours and moderate acidity. Enjoy your Thanksgiving ham with a somewhat sweet Rose and you’ll notice how the wine nicely cleanses the palate.

Cabernet Franc is particularly complimentary of parsley and other herbs. Try making a charcuterie board with some meats, cheeses and some olive oil with herbs for dipping bread in. Focus on pairing your Cabernet Franc with the herbs in the oil.

#Wine101 Tip #17 Salads are made at just about every get together. So knowing the right wine to serve with it is a skill every host or hostess needs to posses. It also just happens to be a pretty simple one. You’re usually safe to go with a high acid wine of your choice to match the acidity of balsamic and other vinaigrette dressings.

Chances are you’re as crazy about mac and cheese as we are. So, next time you’re in the mood for some mac, pair it with an off-dry Riesling. The sweetness in the wine is balanced very nicely by the salty flavour of the cheese

Time for the most classic combination there is – wine and cheese! In particular, goat cheese. A nice, light cheese like this pairs well with a lighter wine. Enjoy a glass of Sauvignon Blanc with a goat cheese & arugula salad or a goat cheese & pesto pizza

We almost feel like we should be writing this one in German. This combination of classic German foods with a wine that originated there is absolutely excellent. With slightly richer dishes like this one, you want a drier wine with good acidity. Give it a try tonight!

Beer is no-longer the burger’s best friend. Next time you fire up the grill, grab some glasses and a bottle of Shiraz! Shiraz is often full-bodied with notes of dark fruits like blackberry, plum and black cherry with a nice amount of spice. Taste for yourself how deliciously it complements BBQ burgers
