The flavor profile of a wine pairing is dictated by the dish it accompanies, aiming for either complementary or contrasting elements.
Successful wine pairings consider factors like acidity, sweetness, tannin levels, body, and aroma of both the wine and the food. For example, a rich, fatty dish might be paired with a high-acidity wine to cut through the richness, while a delicate dish might be paired with a light-bodied wine to avoid overpowering it.

Consider the Sauce
The sauce often dictates the wine pairing more than the main protein. Pay attention to the flavors and richness of the sauce when selecting a wine.
Acidity is Your Friend
Wines with high acidity can cut through rich or fatty foods, cleansing the palate and enhancing the flavors of both the food and wine.
Tannins and Protein
Tannins in red wine bind to proteins, so pair tannic wines with protein-rich dishes like steak to create a more balanced experience.
Sweetness and Spice
Pair sweet wines with spicy dishes to balance the heat and create a more harmonious flavor profile.
Experiment!
Don't be afraid to try different pairings and discover your own preferences. There are no hard and fast rules, and personal taste is paramount.
