The general rule for wine pairing is to parallel one to the other, but when the time comes to make the choice, it can become overwhelming. Are you looking for great rosé wine and food pairings, look no further than the inventory and guidance available at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits.
Look beyond wine and cheese when considering how to serve rosé. Pairing the right wine with the right food can elevate both to an entirely new plane of enjoyment. The subtle differences of aromatics and flavors of wines will interact with the flavors of the food as well. Let’s review the characteristics and a few foolproof rosé food pairings.
About Rosé Wine
Rosé wine is unique because it is pink in color and often reserved for warmer seasons. However, it’s flavorful, food-friendly, and refreshing for any occasion and time of the year. The pink color enjoyed by rosé comes from contact with the skin of red wine grapes, and the resulting wine can be sweet or dry, according to the red wine grape from which the rosé is made. No matter the flavor or occasion, serve rosé chilled.
Appetizers
Ordering apps to go with rosé? Lighter, salty starters are the way to go. Consider a cheese tray with mild cheese selections and a few fatty meats, nuts, and dressings.
Entrees
The entree is the central feature of the dinner hour. After enjoying appetizers, you and your fellow diners will enjoy the experience far more when the food chosen complements the rosé selected for the table. Allow us to suggest a few appropriate options for the main dish pairing:
- Seafood – grilled preparations are ideal. Think salmon, lobster, shrimp, and tuna for example.
- Meats – grilled chicken, lamb, sausage, and other dishes put forward a pleasing smoky taste that complements rosé well;
- Vegetarian and vegan dishes – vegetarian pizza, grilled veggies, all well seasoned;
Desserts
Complete your menu with a dessert to complement your chosen sweet or sparkling rosé. Strawberry shortcake, dark chocolate, lemon cake, cheesecake, and other rich, creamy desserts will complement a sweet rosé. For a dry rosé, choose a dessert that is less sweet, like a pudding, tart, or pie.
