What wine goes with a pasta dinner?

Answer 1

With creamy and fishy sauces, lean towards whites like Pinot Grigio and crisp Chardonnays like Macon-Villages. With red sauces, meat sauces and lasagna go with a hearty red. Any Italian will do as will Zinfandel or Syrah/Shiraz.

The wine is not suppose to dominate the food. It also depends on how light or heavy the food might be. If its light then go with a light wine usually white and if the food is heavy go with a red wine.

There is no right way to pair wines with food. Its simply what taste better with what food to you.

Answer 2

Here in Spain paella is the typical dish. I usually serve it with just a side salad as it is very filling. But the Spaniards eat it as a a starter!! I think that is too much.

I think a salad goes well with paella. Then serve a light dessert.

Answer 3

You'd definitely want a light, maybe sparkling white wine, to add to the elegance of the bouillabaisse dish and complement its taste. Try Twin Vines' Vinho Verde. It's absolutely delicious and a pretty solid match for what you're looking for. http://www.jmftwinvines.com/about-twin-vines-wine.html

Answer 4

Paella in itself is a pretty hardy meal. You would want to keep side dishes simple, if you need them at all.

You could try a light spinach salad with a citrus, like Oranges. The bright citrus goes well with the rich savory main dish. You could also try a Brazilian lemonade.

A crispy bread with seasoned olive oil might also be a good choice.

Answer 5

With a seafood paella try an Albarino or a Rioja Blanco. With a chicken and sausage paella go for a Garnacha or a medium bodied Malbec.

Answer 6

A light red wine would be nice--an Italian or Spanish one. Or a rosé.

Answer 7

There is no specific wine that goes and that is must for pasta dinner. All the same you must not waste very expensive wine with pasta dinner. Any red wine should do good.
