Quick Rules That Actually Work

You don't need to memorize every pairing. Most good matches come down to a few simple ideas that work every time.

And when in doubt — just ask us. Our staff at Long Hill Liquors can help you pick the right bottle for whatever you're making tonight. Want cocktail ideas to go with your meal? Try our Cocktail Recipe Guide.

Match the Weight
Light food with light wine, heavy food with bold wine. A delicate fish will get buried by a big Cabernet, and a light Pinot Grigio won't stand up to a ribeye.
Spicy Food? Go Sweet or Light
Off-dry wines like Riesling or Moscato cool down spicy dishes. High-alcohol, tannic reds will make the heat worse.
If It Grows Together, It Goes Together
Italian food with Italian wine. French food with French wine. Regional pairings have worked for centuries for a reason.
When in Doubt — Bubbles
Sparkling wine pairs with almost everything. The acidity and carbonation cleanse your palate between bites, making it one of the most versatile picks.
