WINE SELECTION SUGGESTIONS
Selecting the right wine for the right occasion can
sometimes be a seemingly awkward or difficult task for
the beginning wine enthusiast. We would therefore like
to present you with a few suggestions which may provide a little more
confidence and enjoyment when choosing and serving your wines.
When selecting wines, keep an open mind and do
not be afraid to be adventurous. Do not view the
subject of wine so seriously it discourages you
from learning and discovering for fear of embarrassment if something is incorrect. Wine is best
viewed as a hobby and enjoyed.
When assembling your collection, try not to become
obsessed with “Vintages.” Although a chart can
provide itself as a useful tool, generalizations about
a specific year have led more than one collector to
disappointment. In many instances an “off year” will
provide a better value and more near term
drinking enjoyment.
The primary guideline to the subject of wine you need to follow is your
own palate. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Experiment, discover,
®
but most of all, enjoy yourself and your new Wine Captain

SUGGESTIONS FOR MATCHING FOOD AND WINE
Although there are no hard fast rules for matching wine to food,
some guidelines should be observed. Delicate dishes should be
accompanied by lighter more delicate wines. Full flavored foods
should be matched with fuller bodied wines.
As a general rule one should aim to ascend in flavor and quality of
wines served.
A DRY WINE Before A SWEET WINE
A WHITE WINE Before A RED WINE
A YOUNG WINE Before An OLD WINE
A LIGHT-BODIED WINE Before A FULL-BODIED WINE
Any step back in quality will be noticed. If a fine wine were to be
tasted prior to a lesser wine, many of the fine wine’s subtle qualities
may be missed.
COMMON FOOD AND WINE MATCHES
Fish, Shell Fish, Crab, Oysters
Dry White Wines, Light Sparkling or Extra
Dry Champagne
Beef, Venison
Full Bodied Red Wines

COMMON TASTING TERMS
Acidity: A critical element of wine, preserves the wine’s
freshness. In excess results in an overly tart and sour
wine.
Balance: A desired trait where tannin, fruit and acidity are in
total harmony. Wines with good balance tend to age
gracefully.
Body: The weight and presence of wine in the mouth
provided by the alcohol and tannin level. Full-bodied
wines tend to have this strong concentration.
Bouquet: The blending of a wine’s aroma within the bottle over a
period of time. Caused by volatile acidity.
Complex: A subjective term often used in tasting. A wine is said
to be complex if it offers a variety of flavors and scents
that continue to evolve as it develops.
Flabby: A wine that lacks structure, or is heavy to the taste,
lacks acidity.
Full-Bodied: Wine high in alcohol and extract, generally speaking fills
the mouth, powerful.
Lean: Generally wines that are slim, lacking of generosity or
thin.
Oaky: A desirable flavor imparted to wine if done in modera-
tion. Most wines are aged in oak barrels one to three
years, thereby receiving this toasty oak characteristic.
However, if a weak wine is left in contact too long with
an oak barrel it will tend to be overpowered with an
oaky taste.
Tannin: Tannins are extracted from the grape skins and stems
and are necessary for a well balanced red wine. Tannins
are easily identified in wine tasting as the drying
sensation over the gums. Tannins generally fade as a
wine ages.
