| Wines & Champagnes Hmmm… Are you having a bridal shower, engagement party or WEDDING? Choosing the wine is the most difficult part of this "task" for any celebration. You're partaking in a tradition that has been passed down for many generations "Wine and Champagnes". Many people tend to ask "how much wine should I get for a celebration! An average serving of wine is approximately 5 oz. You can assume that an individual can consume 5 oz. Every 30 – 45 minutes, so multiply the number of people times the length of your party (Round off to the nearest – I would say 30 Minutes). From my experience, I find that the average wine consumer really tends to stick to "what they know" which means it depends on the crowd. If you are having a crowd that does not know about wines, my observation is that you should go with, 25 % White Zinfandel, 25 % white wine (chardonnay), 25% red wine (cabernet), and 25 % other things. Cheese Pairing Tips: Chardonnay - Strong Cheeses (Cheddar Cheese, Provolone, Gruyere) Cabernet – Strong Cheeses (Danish, Blue) White Zinfandel – Cream Cheese, Baby Swiss Riesling and Champagne – Colby Remember, those palates that loves Chardonnay do not necessarily appreciate the more a bottle of wine cost! (Chardonnay's are quite reasonable, as well as Cabernet's and Zinfandels) Pairing wines with the foods for the occasion? Of course if you are a bride please stay away from the reds!!!! (YOUR WEDDING DRESS) Chocolate Lovers: Chocolate Fountains (DivaLicious) or Chocolate Covered Strawberry's…this pairs great with red wine (please see next issue for selections). Please see the Appetizer & Dinner Pairing- of the above-mentioned wines in our next issue. If you have any question, please feel free to submit them to angela@icwts.org and they will be answered in our next issue. Sincerely, Angela Midgette, President |
