If you are hosting a dinner party don\u2019t let the wines scare you. All you need is a few basic guidelines about wine to create a harmony of flavors at your next gathering. Even though wine enthusiasts and experts have spent years mastering the ability to pair a particular dish with a particular wine; in reality wine pairing is not rocket science. Enjoy these wine pairing tips!<\/p>\n<p><b>Wine Pairing Tip 1:<\/b> Find a wine you enjoy drinking. When pairing wines with a meal, it is easier if you already enjoy drinking (and are familiar with) a wine. Don\u2019t worry about the quality of a wine or how it was rated; you should be the one to enjoy drinking the wine. <\/p>\n<p><b>Wine Pairing Tip 2:<\/b> When cooking regional fare, pair wines from the same region. The wines of a certain region go well with the foods of a certain region; year of feasting on these combinations can\u2019t be wrong; climate and culture also work together to create these combinations.<\/p>\n<p><b>Wine Pairing Tip 3:<\/b> Finding a balance in food and wine flavors. Match a rich, strongly flavored dish with an equally rich, powerful wine. Avoid matching strong wines to delicate flavors.<\/p>\n<p><b>Wine Pairing Tip 4:<\/b> Acidity is your friend. People tend to be wary of wines described as &#8220;high acid; but there\u2019s isn\u2019t a better wine for matching rich, creamy or cheesy sauces, deep-fried foods or fish dishes; in addition, tart wines go better with tart foods, such as vinaigrette on a salad.<\/p>\n<h4>Cedar Plank Local Fish<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Serves 4<\/p>\n<p>1 \u00bd cups<br \/>\n1 cup(or as needed)<\/p>\n<p>1 \u00bd lb<br \/>\nSkin-on local fish (Rock Cod, Yellowtail, etc.)<br \/>\nSalt and pepper<br \/>\n2 tbsp<br \/>\nCoconut oil, solid<br \/>\n2 Lemons, sliced<\/p>\n<p>Chardonnay*<br \/>\nWater<\/p>\n<p>Orange, sliced<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Place 2 cedar planks into a large Ziploc bag; add Chardonnay and enough water to cover. Soak for 25 minutes to an hour. Remove any bones from fish and cut into 4 equal portions. Preheat oven to 325\u00b0 F. Place cedar planks onto a cookie sheet and shingle lemon and orange slices onto planks. Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium- high heat. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Add \u00bd to 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat the pan with oil. When oil shimmers (but does not smoke) and runs in the pan like water, add 2 fish fillet, flesh side down. Cook, without moving fish, until brown crust forms, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and place salmon onto citrus slices on cedar plank, skin side down. Repeat with remaining salmon. Place cookie sheet into the oven and cook for 8 to 10 minutes for thin pieces or fish and 10 to 15 for thicker pieces of fish. Serve with a Chardonnay with oak flavors and a balanced of crisp acidity, like Fallbrook Winery\u2019s.<br \/>\n<i><br \/>\n* This is the one time you want to use cheap Chardonnay; a chance to get rid of any junk wine that friends or family have been kind enough to give as a gift. The cheaper wines will have a stronger oak flavor.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet [San Diego Fine Living] Tips for Food Local Food and Wine Pairing by Chef Jenn Felmley Wine pairing can seem overwhelming for many people.
