WINE TIPS AND HINTS
When choosing wine, take advantage of the
knowledge of the personnel in the wine store as
well as reviews of wines from wine publications.
The price of a wine is not necessarily indicative
of relative quality. Very good wines can be
purchased at comfortable-for-the-wallet prices.
When you fi nd a comfortably priced wine,
purchase in quantity to have on hand as your
“house wine.” Keep it chilled in your Cuisinart
™
Dual Zone Private Reserve ® Wine Cellar and be
ready for any occasion.
Pairing wine with food has really become a
matter of personal taste – the rules are no longer
hard and fast that white wine is paired only with
fi sh or light meats and red wine is paired only
with red meats. A Pinot Noir can complement a
grilled fi sh just as well as it complements a
grilled fi llet of beef.
What needs to be kept in mind is the personality
of the wine itself, the preparation of the foods,
and the tastes of those who will be enjoying
them. You may want to open a bottle each of red
and white and allow your guests to choose.
The wine should please the diner, and never
overpower or fi ght with the food with which it
is served. Likewise, the food should not
overpower or fi ght with the wine.
Wine is a part of healthy living – the USDA’s
guidelines are based upon the “Mediterranean
diet.” They include wine in moderation – for
women this is one glass per day and two
glasses per day for men. A glass size is 4
ounces. The difference in gender amount
is based upon body size.
As for cooking with wine – never cook with
a wine that you would not drink!
