| OVERALL WINNER: Any Sauvignon
Blanc, particularly those from the New World. |
|
|
| Insalata Tricolore, Salade Niçoise, Caesar
Salad, Greek Salad, Tomato Salad, Goats' Cheese Salad |
The avocados, tomatoes and mozzarella in Insalata
Tricolore are not a wine-friendly mix, but a light
Chablis or New
Zealand Sauvignon Blanc would be OK.
Dry White wines with noticeable acidity are probably the best
partners for Salade Niçoise and Greek Salad, try a Muscadet
or crisp, White Burgundy from Mâcon.
Similar wines also work well with Caesar Salad or you could opt for an
Italian
White.
Tomato Salads are very difficult to pair with wine - New
Zealand Sauvignon Blancs work best, as they do with Goats' Cheese
Salad. |

|
| Onion Tart, Quiche, Nut Roast, Roasted Red
Peppers, Ratatouille, Mushrooms |
The sweetness of the caramelised onions in Onion
Tart requires a ripe, aromatic white like Alsace
Pinot Gris or New World Sauvignons and Chardonnays, and these same wines
will work with Quiches too.
A "meatier" dish such as Nut Roast could take a fleshy
Red such as a Cabernet-Shiraz
or Chilean
Merlot. Full-flavoured Ratatouilles go surprising well with New
Zealand Sauvignon Blancs.
Roasted Red Peppers are intensely flavoured and go
particularly well with Tempranillo-based
wines. Alternatively, for a White choose an Australian
Semillon or German
Riesling Spatlese.
Mushroom is another "meaty" vegetable and goes best
with full-flavoured Reds. Try a New World Merlot or a Châteauneuf-du-Pape. |
