“It’s not just about selling wine, it’s about creating a memorable experience for our customers.”

The Art of Wine Pairing

Wine pairing is an art that requires a deep understanding of the nuances of wine and the culinary world. At LaVino, the staff is trained to provide expert guidance on wine pairing, ensuring that every customer finds the perfect match for their meal. Key considerations for wine pairing include: + The type of cuisine being served + The flavor profile of the wine + The flavor profile of the dish + The acidity and tannin levels of the wine + The cooking method and ingredients used

Understanding the Flavor Profiles

Flavor profiles are a crucial aspect of wine pairing. Different wines have distinct flavor profiles that can complement or clash with various dishes. For example:

The Role of Acidity and Tannins

Acidity and tannin levels play a significant role in wine pairing. Acidity helps to cut through richness and balance flavors, while tannins provide structure and depth to the wine. High acidity wines like Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio pair well with dishes that have high acidity, such as citrus-based sauces or pickled vegetables.
