The general wine/food paring rules have been around forever!. Food and wine pairing is a highly subjective and inexact process!. I’m a big believer that everyone’s pallets are different!. What I think goes perfectly with a specific food you might think is a horrible combination!.

The old rules, primarily red wine with red meat and white wine with fish and poultry, don't take into consideration the complexity of today’s multi-ethnic and subtly flavored foods and the corresponding wide range of wines from around the world that are now conveniently available to almost everyone!.

These days you're more likely to hear food and wine pairing suggestions than hard and fast rules!. There's considerable room for experimentation and expression of your own personality in pairing food and wine!.

Vineyard tours and wine tastings are a great way to try different wines and learn which you favor!. Then begin with the foods and wines you like!. Pick a good wine and pair it with a meal you enjoy and you probably won't go wrong!.

Basically, if you enjoy a certain wine with a certain dish, then you have a good pair!. Pair with what you enjoy, not just because someone told you that is the way it must be!. Remember, at the end of the day YOU are the one drinking/enjoying the meal!.

Life is full of rules!. Enjoying a good glass of wine or beer should never be subject to any of them!.

For chicken & shrimp, generally, the rules will tell you white, unless they are blackened or spicy!. Grilled, you’re in the fence!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

With ths shrimp, I'd go with a nice crisp white, like a sauvignon blanc!. The acidity will match very well with the rich garlic butter sauce!.

For the chicken, I'd pick a lighter style of red!. White with Chicken is way overhyped!. Chicken is a pretty bland meat and its accompaniments are often better to try and match!. The earthiness of mushrooms can make some whites, especially lighter ones, very difficult to match!. Pinot Noir tends to be lighter and a bit earthy in character and is a classic match with mushrooms!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Although it is going to depend on how the chicken or shrimp is prepared, typically a white wine is paired with these two foods!. The type of white wine varies with the sauces or seasonings!. A tomato-based sauce with the chicken could stand up to one of the medium-bodied reds!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

With the chicken since it will be with mushroom, you will be able to pair a nice red wine that is slightly dry!. A Cabernet around a 2005 with light peppery taste will work!.
With the shrimp go with any good chardonnay!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

typically with Chicken and fish you serve white, but it depends on how you are cooking it!.!.!.!.!.some recipe's are hardy and robust and will taste better with a red!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would drink whatever tastes best to me, as for serving to dinner guests i would serve a nice white wine like white zinfandelWww@FoodAQ@Com

A fine pinot grigio or white merlot would both work!. There really aren't rules, just go by what tastes good and what you are in the mood for! Cheers!Www@FoodAQ@Com
