🍷 EntertainingToday's Tip
The French rule: match the wine to the season, not the food. Light whites and roses in summer. Reds in winter. This simple principle eliminates 90% of wine anxiety.
Try This
Stop studying pairing charts. For your next dinner, ask one question: is it warm or cold outside? Warm: reach for a white or rose. Cold: pour a red. You have just made a French-correct wine choice.
In French homes, wine is served at proper temperature. Reds are slightly below room temperature (16-18C), not warm. Whites come from the fridge 15 minutes before serving, not ice cold. The number one wine mistake is temperature. A mediocre wine at perfect temperature beats a great wine served wrong.
