Food and Wine Marriage of the Moment

March 31st 2011

*****************Enchilladas & Zinfandel!*****************

The spicier the food, the sweeter the wine! The sweetness of the wine acts like a fire extinguisher to the spiciness of the dish. The sweeter the wine, the better the dish will taste!

Rich, cheese-laden enchiladas, burritos and other combination dishes with a heavier sauce base match up well against classic Italian Chianti, a sweet Zinfandel or a classic German Riesling. The richness of the cheese sauces mesh well with the heavier, oak-based wines without overpowering the dish itself.
