What Food Goes with Pinot Grigio
Pinot Grigio is a tasty white wine which is very popular around the world. This wine has some very tasty flavors which pair well with many food varieties.
The major flavors in Pinot Grigio are usually fruity flavors like pear or melon. You can often taste hints of tropical fruits, as well as a smoky or honey flavoring.
The flavors of Pinot Grigio pair well with many light dishes. Almost any seafood will work with this white wine along with light pastas or most chicken dishes.
Chicken dishes in any white cream sauce blend well with the flavors of Pinot Grigio.
Cheese and crackers also taste great with Pinot Grigio. Pinot Grigio has a high acidity level and shouldn’t be paired with foods that also have a high acidity level.
Pinot Grigio is typically made in California, France, Germany, Oregon, and a few other wineries around the world.
Pinot Grigio can range in price but you should spend at least $6-$10 for a bottle or you will be missing out on the quality.
Pinot Grigio should be served at about 50 degrees F. Serving it too cold will take away from the flavors. Although serving it too warm is also a mistake.
While red wine should be served almost at room temperature, white wines need to be chilled a bit more.
