Best food pairing for a Cabernet Sauvignon wine

A cabernet sauvignon can be paired with a variety of different foods, depending on the specific characteristics of the wine. For example, a cabernet sauvignon with higher acidity will pair well with fatty foods, while a cabernet sauvignon with higher tannins will pair well with grilled or roasted meats. In general, however, some of the best food pairings for a cabernet sauvignon include:

If you would like to start your dining experience with Cabernet Sauvignon,  a charcuterie plate, meat based pizza or a hamburger is always a good choice. Main dishes like fatty lamb, prime rib, smoked duck with foie gras , grilled pork, beef fillets Wellington, lasagna with minced meat, or grilled and dark sauced chicken or pork are good choices for main dish. Also, when there’s the addition of smoke in the recipe, the two go together much better. If you would like to pair with cheese, soft and fresh cheeses like Gouda, is a good choice.   To finish off your meal, don't miss the opportunity to pair your Cabernet Sauvignon with desserts that include dark chocolate.

As you can see, there are a number of different options that can pair well with a cabernet sauvignon. Ultimately, it will come down to personal preference and experimentation to find the perfect match for your particular wine. Or of course, you can have QelviQ, Your Personal Sommelier, recommend a dish that fits a wine you have in your QelviQ App inventory.

"Hi l am Wim, sommelier, and wine enthusiast just like you! My fellow sommeliers understand the importance of serving wine at the correct temperature. They know that if wine is too warm, it will lose its flavors and complexities, and if wine is served too cold, it will numb your taste buds. A few world renown sommeliers and myself will explain this further, and share some interesting (taste) case studies."
