1� TASTE • ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY’S SprINg DININg gUIDE �008

A s Chaucer stated in his Canterbury Tales centuries ago, spring is the time when people long to get out, make journeys and want to savor new and

more interesting meals. In the 1200s, it was Bordeaux that most English-speaking people drank to enhance all their meals. Today, we have thousands of wines to make our spring dining adventures even more enjoyable.

The southern New Jersey area, in and around Atlantic City, has many quality restaurants that can fulfill our culinary desires. But if you think it’s a complex study of matching wines with food, relax, it’s not! You need to learn only one basic Mahoneyism: match the weight of the wine to the weight of the main ingredient of each course.

A wine’s body is how the wine feels in your mouth, or

its weight. Is it light or heavy? Forget about white wines with fish and reds with meat. That was a simple sales pitch made decades ago to people who knew nothing about wine or food. However, it will work many times if you see many white wines as light and many reds as heavier wines, but forget it as a rule that must be fol-lowed. Instead, simply remember to match light foods, take shellfish or tilapia for instance, with a light white wine like a Greek Moschofiliero, a high quality Italian Pinot Grigio or Vernaccia, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc or a white wine from Spain made from the Verdelho grape.

However, with salmon or tuna, which is a fuller fat-

Making Good PairsMatching wines with foods for Spring 2008

ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY’S SprINg DININg gUIDE �008 • TASTE 1�


ter fish, you need more body, so match it with a light red wine that has an equal body like a Rioja from Spain or a lower-priced Californian Pinot Noir. Lighter food, lighter wines: red or white. Prime rib and potatoes will simply overpower a light white or red and demands to be paired with a wine that has a similar body.

Dry Rosé, which has now come back into fashion, is perfect for any matching problem in the lighter to mid-weight food categories. Many of the finest chefs I know suggest that their best creations be paired with dry pink wines so you don’t miss a hidden subtlety they’ve inter-jected into a garnish item on the plate.

Heavy steaks overwhelm a Pinot Grigio or a Fumé Blanc. All mouth-filling heavier meals demand big-ger masculine wines. A few big white Burgundies can work with some meat dishes, but Malbecs, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandels along with Syrah have the power to cleanse the palate and help to make the next forkful taste just as good as the first one.

Still confused a bit about a wine’s body? Well, think of milk. Skim milk represents light wines. Two-percent fat-content milks are like Viogniers, or white Rhones, maybe oakless Chardonnays or Gavi. Then whole milk

would equate to bigger reds like expensive Merlots and Cabernets along with Brunello di Montalcino, massive Zinfandels, Bordeaux and bigger Spanish Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero or even a Greek Agiorghitko.

Heavy cream would represent really masculine or full-bodied wines like Cream Sherries and Ports that slurp

out of the bottle and demand to be matched with heavy chocolate desserts laced with raspberry syrup, brandied bread puddings or really rich cheese cakes.

Use the milk analogy to help match wines to foods: the skim-milk, whole-milk or heavy cream idea will help you make categories of all the wines you sample and put them into a listing according to their weight, which we call the wine’s body. In a very short time,

Forget about white wines with fish and reds with meat.

you’ll be able to see a menu item and then suggest a wine to pair with it. Your selection will highlight the food’s flavor and also refresh your mouth getting it ready for each new taste.

Most seafood would be considered to be light and therefore needs a lighter matching wine. Meats would

be heavy and need bigger fuller wines. Lighter dishes with fuller sauces like a cream sauce on light pasta need a fuller wine because the sauce becomes the domi-nant flavor of the dish. So a lightly oaked Chardonnay (white) or a young Barbera or Dolcetto (reds) will all work. Remember, you’re always matching the most dominant element of a dish to the wine.

As we make our spring escapes from the winter’s dol-drums, we almost always seek out newer and exciting taste-adventures. We want to try a new restaurant and a

new chef. We want to experience a youthful refreshing culinary adventure. When we return to an old favorite restaurant, we still look for a new menu item.

Most people want to return in the direction of the ocean and away from the inland. Southern New Jersey’s seashore restaurants bloom with revitalized energy to

serve new and return customers. Knowing that wine is food — that it’s the liquid part of the meal — enhances every new dining experience and the knowledge of matching the weight of a wine to the weight of food, offers the promise of future wine-food bondings that always give you something new to look forward to and make you salivate with excitement.

Even in the 1200s, people knew that mutton paired with Bordeaux red wines because both food and wine balanced each other. In vino veritas. n

Remember, you’re always matching the most dominant element of a dish to the wine.
