| Zinfandel
has been called a "spicy" wine because if it's intense cassis
and black pepper flavors. As a result, many people think this means it should
be paired with spicy foods. Wrong! Spicy foods deplete your ability to taste
dry wines like zinfandel. Zinfandel pairs best with bold flavored foods
like grilled steak, lamb, gorgonzola cheese, and dark chocolate. Lighter
zinfandels can also pair well with rich, creamy pastas, grilled or rotisserie
chicken, and baked Italian dishes like lasagna and canelloni. |
