This chart was compiled from many other food and wine pairing charts to

provide a quick reference and ongoing resource for your home bar's wine

rack or cellar. The commonly recommended complementary matches

from a number of different sommelier guides, wine tasting experts, winery

suggestions and industry publications were tabulated yielding a kind of

consensus grouping of lists.



Informal observations suggested much more commonality and agreement

on the wine pairings advocated at the ends of the taste spectrum. For this

narrow list of choices, it was Chardonnay and Zinfandel, which illustrates

how wine is very much an individual experience. Use this as a guide for

ideas and experiment to find favorites matching your palate. Red wines

are selected in the shaded columns and white wines listed in the others.
