Wine Pairings:
We preface all of our wine pairing suggestions by letting you know that it’s really a matter of personal taste. While we do offer our opinions and why we selected a specific varietal, there is no right or wrong answer when pairing a wine with your dinner.
White Zinfandel
Typically with chicken you look for a lighter wine. Some people like to pair a spicy dish with a sweeter wine. We feel that a White Zinfandel is the perfect accompaniment to Tandoori Chicken. While the wine does have sweet notes, it is not overly sweet. The cool temperature of the wine, level of sweetness and right amount of acidity is a perfect pair.
