Wine Pairing....

never has to follow any patterns. You don't always have to match white wine with fish and pasta and red wine with meat. Break the rules. Remember to discover what you like by experimenting. Sometimes you may find that pairing what seem to be opposite or unlike flavors may attract. Try some of these combinations that I have come up with from experimenting:

• When enjoying spicy dishes such as bratwurst or even a plate of jambalaya, try a fruity chardonnay.
• When enjoying herb flavors or heavy garlic dishes, try a deep and rich merlot.
• When enjoying a rich, creamy or even chocolate-based dessert, try a sweet sherry. This is a great way to end a great meal with cheese as well.

Review:

This pot roast is certainly one of the best. It’s perfect for a family dinner on a chilly night. The creamy gravy adds moisture and flavor to the pot roast, leaving it tasty and undry. The greatest advantage you have is that it does not take much time to cook. It comes better with more sauce. Best served with mash potatoes!
