PERFECT PAIRINGS
BY: ALLIE MERRICK

every time i sit down
with intentions to dine
i am never without
a bottle of wine

with thai I prefer
a sauvignon blanc
with dark chocolate to follow
a cabernet franc

with grilled chicken
i choose beaujolais
with fettuccine alfredo
i grab chardonnay

hermitage
goes well with lamb
zinfandel
i pair with ham

sauternes match up
with creme brûlée
but with scallops
you need montrachet

when i serve salmon
it's pinot noir
for that is the best pair
i've found by far
