Wine And Dine

In recent years wine has become an incredibly popular drink at bachelorette parties. Here are some helpful hints when you are planning a bachelorette party. Today there are many varieties of wines produced all over the world. It is a personal preference which type or producer of wine you select! Don’t let anyone convince you that more expensive wines are better. One can find great bargains everyday for under $10.

With all the choices you can select today, it really comes down to three types of wine: Red, White and Sparkling. Each wine is great, but some wines go better with different kinds of foods. We will give you advice on what most people consider to be the "Rule" with wines and food. Just remember, everybody’s tastes are different, so what tastes great to one person, might not be as good to another. It is best if you can experiment a little and find the wines you think are best. One idea is to combine wine tasting with the bachelorette party.

It is most often considered appropriate to serve Red Wines (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlots, etc…) with meat and game. Other wines to consider with meat are Syrah/Shiraz and Pinot Noirs.

White wines are usually best with lighter foods including fish, foul, and vegetables dishes. These wines include Chardonnay, Riesling, Chenin Blanc, and other white wines. Each of these wines has different characteristics, and each one can be complimentary to the food you are having or just drinking on its own.

Some examples:

Spicy foods – Shiraz or Red Zinfandel (fruity and bold)
Red Meat – Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlots (full body wine)
Pork and Game – Pinot Noir (lighter red)
Shellfish – Riesling or Champagnes (Methode Champenoise) – (Light, dry wine)
Ocean and Fresh water fish – Chardonnay’s and Semillons (heavier White)

When in doubt, you can always go to an upper scale wine and spirits store, and ask for suggestions for the food you will be serving, or there is always the multitude of locations to look up on the Internet.
