Whether it’s chicken, duck, quail, or Cornish hen there’s a wine pairing perfect for the dish. Find the right wine to pair with your favorite white meat or dark meat.
Pairing wine and poultry is heavily reliant on how the bird is cooked, if it’s served with sauce, and how it’s seasoned.
The best rule to follow is to match the intensity of the dish with the intensity of the wine. A heavier seasoned dish should be paired with a heavier, more flavorful wine like Tempranillo. An aromatic wine, like Viognier, pairs well with floral herbs like sage.
