Remember...The wine and the vinyl should complement each other ,not battle against each other.
One way to decide is to remember the saying,
"Simple wines with complex vinyls...Complex wines with simple vinyls."
But there is a balance to be struck.
It's important not to have too complex a flavor overpower a simpler vinyl.
Or a simpler flavor simply drowned out by something strong (say an
'Outrageous Orange').
These guidelines may seem confusing and may actually be contradictory...
but these are in fact the rules that most connoisseurs agree on.
This should succeed in eliminating any 'logic' you might try to impose on the
process.
And our status as experts should make you dis-regard your own personal
judgements
Anyone can see that a Bravo Burl calls for a strong red ( a Merlot perhaps),
but for the finer
points of vinyl/ wine pairings you might need help.
We've spent countless hours researching the finer point of vinyl and
alcohol.
Trust our expert judgement below.
Outrageous Orange
An off-dry German Riesling with it's slight sweetness, and somewhat acidic
taste, makes a good foil for the spicyness
of this vinyl. But if you can't stand Germans...A White Zinfandel with a
lighter body
combines the same off-dry qualities and is a good second choice.
Humvee Hunter
A more bitter and astringent vinyl...here you'll want to complement with a
more full-flavored forward wine.
A good Cab (that's rich people slang for a Cabernet Sauvignon), or a Merlot
complement this nicely.
Radical Red
These are more acidic vinyls and require a wine with a similarly high
acidity just to hang with them.
The sheer radicalness of this would be enough to destroy most American red
wines.
A French Pinot Noir is what is called for.
The french more radical than us? No, but wine is one of the few battles that
they can claim victory in.
Tuff Teal
Despite touting it's tuffness, this is actually a very delicate vinyl. A
white Bordeaux
with it's delicate bouquet will go nicely. You may even want to consider a
sparking wine.
Remember, champagne is for the unsophisticated who know nothing about wine,
a Prosecco is a better
choice.
Girlie Girl Pink
If you are truly a girle girl then you need a wine that is the furthest
tasting from actual alcohol or grapes.
This is definitely a candidate for a fruity rose'. Or an Australian Shiraz
(which the rest of the world calls a Sirrah...
English speaking country my ass...)
