Many of us love our glass of white wine, but when it comes to red wine, well ... we just don't like it. Red wine tastes "bitter" - so what's a white wine drinker to do???
Red wine is an acquired taste - much like learning to drink coffee. There are many good reasons to acquire a taste for red wine: it is heart-healthy, it stands-up to full-flavored and full-bodied foods, it makes dining more interesting - white wines earlier in the evening with the anticipation of the red wine to come.
Reasons to acquire a taste for red wine:
Chardonnay with hearty dishes isn't "socially incorrect," it's just a matter of balance. Pairing a filet with side dishes of mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese is considered to be out-of-balance. A crisp green salad and potatoes are perfectly balanced. On the flip side, a well-made Cabernet Sauvignon dwarfs a delicate Filet of Sole. The red wine overpowers the fish. The fish needs a lighter wine.
