Suggestions for Matching Food and Wine

Although there are no hard fast rules for matching wine to food, observe some guidelines. Delicate dishes should be accompanied by lighter more delicate wines. Full- flavored foods should be matched with fuller-bodied wines.

As a general rule, one should aim to ascend in flavor and quality of wines served.
