What kind of wine do you serve with fillet mignon?!


Question:

What kind of wine do you serve with fillet mignon?


Answers:

the natural choice is red. however, which wine specifically depends a great deal on how the meal is presented. what flavors dominate the meal?

for subtle flavors go with a peppery wine like a south African Shiraz or an Australian blend

for garlic/onion heavy flavors, do an earthy malbec, pref. from Argentina or Chile

for spicy meals, i opt for a Cabernet or skip the white wine all together and serve a sweeter, German wine.

another tip: if the meal served is fat heavy (i.e.: lots of oils/cream on the palate) serve a sparkling wine or champagne.

if you're serving more than 3 guests, try to have a few different kinds of wine on hand.

bon apetit!
