The most common wine to pair with meat is a dark, rich, red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine's taste can be reminiscent of plums, blackberries, mint or mocha and its thick texture makes it the perfect accompaniment to most red meats. For instance, a well-marbled beef with spice rubs, sauces or pepper would pair wonderfully with Cabernet. 

For a lighter and sweeter taste, Chardonnay is a great option. This white wine works beautifully with a meal equally light and delicious. Perfect for the summer, Chardonnay works best with fish, chicken or fresh pasta or salad. 

On the other hand, Merlot offers a taste similar to Cabernet Sauvignon but with a softer, lighter tone. This wine is best enjoyed with a fish like salmon or tuna, or grilled spiced meats.

Finally, a classic white, Pinot Grigio incorporates sweet spiced flavors that perfectly complement a pasta dish with fresh herbs and cheese. The flavors vary depending on what region the wine comes from, so choose a more crisp or acidic bottle depending on your taste.

Plan your plate and find the perfect combination of delicious food and flavorful wine. For more information or expert advice on wines visit Wineology.
