When it comes to pairing food with wine, it’s important to look at the key ingredients and flavours within the meal.  The main goal of a great pairing is for the qualities in both the wine and the food to complement and highlight each other.  Alternatively, another approach can be to create more of a contrast – for example one element of the wine such as the acidity cutting through a particularly rich element of a meal. So with British Pie week coming up, what better way to add to your pie of choice than with a well-paired glass of wine.  Although not as traditional a pairing as wine and cheese or champagne and oysters, a well-suited glass of wine, whether your pie is meat, fish, or veg, will help take it to the next level!
