Which cheese and meat pizza PAIR best with what WINE!!!

Pizza around the World is A very big Seller. Pizza is a very fun found and can be made with a variety of different toppings, With the many toppings this can dictate what type of Wine that would be best paired with the type of PIE your having.

    • Marhherita Pizza is a Classic, with its Basil and Creamy Mozzarella Cheese (i love cheese)and its amazing flavourful Sauce
    • Best Paired with a Pinot Grigio, Rose, or Sangiovese
  • Pepperoni Pizza
    • Pepperoni Pizza is an all time favorite Pizza. I dont know a soul that doesnt love the taste of the crust and cheese and then Pepperoni. The Pepperoni has FAT in it. So when pairing a Wine you would want to choose an Acidic Wine with a fruity flavour and a Wine that is Rich in Flavour
    • Best Paired with a Sangiovese, , Barbera, and also to create the Perfect Balance choose a Nebbiolo
  • Meatlover’s Pizza
    • Meatlover’s Pizza’s with all of the toppings like pepperoni, sausage, bacon, ham, hamburgerall pilled on top of ana amazing sauce with loads of Mozzarella Cheese Cooked to perfection.

    • Best Paired with Malbecl, Shiraz, and also a Cabernet Sauvignon Tempranillo

Specialty Pies

  • Vegetarian Pizza
    • Vegetarian Pizza has all the great freshness of Vegetables and the punch of Herbs and Veggie for your palate
    • Best Paired with Rose, Fiano ,A Sauvignon Blanc, or a Chardonnay The best wine to use has a citrusy and herbal flavored as to not over power the taste of the veggies with the Wine.
  • Hawaiian Pizza
    • Many folks like a Hawaiian Pizza or a Pineapple Pizza

    • BBQ Chicken Pizza, with the flavour of the toppings and the small pieces of BBQ Chicken, maybe a little Ranch dressing to go along with the Pizza. The pie gives you ana amazing flavour of the BBQ, also sautéed onions and a smokey and Zesty taste all in one.
    • Best Paired with light bodied Red Wine , but you don’t want to overpower the the taste of the Pizza. so best paired with a Merlot, Pinot Noir, Dolcetta, a Chardonnay or a Red

The facts about pizza and wine can all be traced back to the ole country of Italy, and their Heritage. But lets talk about Fine Wines,

As a consumer of Fine Wines, NOT ALL Fine Wines come from Italy. The production of Fine Wines is ALSO ALIVE AND WELL here in the United States.

Wines from the US are produced in California, in the Napa and Sonoma valleys .These Fine Wines are still produced like the ancestors of old . These Wines are not mass produced. All the Grapes used are grown in the valleys and then Harvested at the correct ripeness.
