Picking the Right White Wine for Your Seafood Meal
Wine is often considered the most elegant and regal of all beverages. However, just like any other beverage, wine cannot simply be taken with any type of food. Just as you would not drink a pina colada with your breakfast omelet, you cannot pair a great glass of wine with popcorn. Wine can be added to the meal during cooking or served separately while eating. There are many white wine variants as there are recipes that require them. Each recipe requires a different white wine to complement the taste, oiliness or fat content of the fish. Some are also added to bring out or enhance flavor. Upon cooking, you can still taste and smell the wine content in the dish.
When cooking, there are several recipes that would require the addition of the wine. The wine would give the dish a unique taste and can put a little kick into it. The tastes of these foods are really distinctive and it can only be achieved through the addition of cooking wines, red wines, or white wines. When cooking meat, red wine is used in most recipes. When cooking seafood, white wine is usually used as the best accompaniment. Here are some suggestions and tips on what to use when cooking or eating meals that require white wine.
Pinoc Noir can work well with seafood stew; Chablis or Champagne with raw oysters; and for sushi and sashimi made of light fish variants, you can use Albarino or Vouvray. Sparkling wine, when paired with fried food, is one of the best pairings there is. Pinot Blanc is best paired with seafood cocktail and eating crabs are best with Marsanne. When cooking you can use Rose for seafood soups that are tomato-based, and Dry Fino Sherry is perfect to use when cooking shrimps. No matter what the preparation is, whether sauteed, soup or mixed with other ingredients, the taste of the shrimp will definitely be enhanced. If you are cooking dishes with almonds as the primary ingredient, Dry Fino Sherry will work well too.
When cooking, the same principle applies, a light fish would require a light wine to accompany it, and a heavier fish or an oilier kind of fish would require a heavier wine. This is done so that one will not overshadow the other, except in pairings where the wine is suppose to take the spotlight.
To complete a specific recipe, it really is best to stick to the original requirements of the dish. While you can be creative and create your own version of certain menus, there are still some recipes and some ingredients, such as white wine, that cannot be substituted by something else. White wine can truly give the dish a rich taste and the way it blends with the other ingredients is truly remarkable.
Truly, if you want to give your dish a rich and exquisite taste, use white wine in cooking or while eating and get to enjoy your favorite fish dish in a whole new light.
