The Rules of Pairing

While personal preference always takes precedence, traditional wine pairing relies on a few fundamental rules of flavor matching.

Contrast vs Congruence

A congruent pairing creates balance by amplifying shared flavor compounds (like a rich Chardonnay with creamy Mac and Cheese). A contrasting pairing creates balance by offering opposite flavors (like a sweet off-dry Riesling to cut through a spicy Indian curry).
