If your looking foralight, versatile, red wine to serve with a simple pasta with basil and tomatoes, a good...

Question

choice would be?
Pinot Gringio
Cabernet Savignon
Chianti
Savignon Blanc

Answer 1

Given those options: chianti. Cabernet is too complicated for a simple pasta and tomato dish. I prefer a red, but if you find the right white, something not too fruity, probably a bit dry, a white is okay. But it will take a bit of trial and error, hence chianti being the easy choice.

Answer 2

None of the above. Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc are both whites. If these are all that's available then the Chianti will work in a pinch but a better choice would be a Merlot or a rose other than white zinfandel.

For the rose use a French or Portuguese wine and avoid the California offerings.

Answer 3

You do not want anything too light first off..you need something that will balance the sauce.

The Pinot Grigio and Savignon Blanc are whites.., however, there are nice options for both of those that are actually nice with tomato sauce...

I would suggest a true red Zinfandel..like Cline, robust enough on its own, to have a glass without food..and strong enough to enjoy with pasta. ;-)

Answer 4

Never a white zin and Fu$k merlot! Chianti Classico is great..banfi and ruffino, tommasi so many beautiful wines, go and discuss the dish with someone at the local wine shop, ask for their reccomendations,,,, it's what they live for.

Answer 5

Sonoma Jack Cheese. Then the two your wine & your cheese must be from Sonoma. there is goat cheese, too, because of the fact that some might desire that. guess we could arise with some sourdough bread for you, too. you % unleavened bread, we are able to arise with some tortillas or chapattis. might besides decide for the final & produced interior the u . s ., too. Olives, every person? we've those, too. might besides make it a real supper. None of that bogus stuff. do no longer ought to circulate to Italy or Greece to get your communion components.
