Food and wine pairing is the process of pairing a food with complementary flavors, aromas, and textures found in wine. The main rule to remember about pairing wine with food is that there are no rules: you should drink the wines you like with the foods you like.
For me, the best pairings with wine is absolutely CHEESE!
