Easy-breezy BOTTAIA Red Wine + Cheese Pairings for Spring

What better way to welcome spring than by combining your favorite BOTTAIA bottles with flavorful cheese, crisp breadsticks, and savory olives? Happy hour is about to get a lot happier with longer days and sunsets pushing back to 8 pm. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when pairing wine and food:

Match mild foods with mild wines. Match bold foods with big, powerful wines.

Salty foods go extremely well with a touch of sweetness.

Tannic wines need heavy, rich foods.

Serve wines that are more acidic and sweeter than the food you’ll be serving.

The best advice we can share is to have fun exploring the world of wine, and if you have any questions, you can always ask our knowledgeable Tasting Room Staff.
