Why Wine Pairing?

Why does Acqua In Vino host a weekly wine pairing and pouring? Wine pairings have the greatest value for those who like and are interested in wine, but don’t yet know a great deal. Pairings (and wines by the glass in general) seem relatively high cost from an amount and quality perspective when compared to purchasing whole bottles. What you get in exchange, however, is the opportunity to discover a variety of new wines you might not otherwise try.  Wine pairing is a delicate process of combining food dishes with the perfect wine to help elevate the dining experience.

Food and wine pairing has been a technique of matching complementary flavors with the goal of heightening enjoyment of each component. There is truly no greater pleasure in this world than good food paired with an exceptional glass of wine. The right wine can elevate your dining experience from every day to unforgettable, but it takes an expert touch to truly understand the subtle art of a perfect pairing. That's why we do this every Friday from 5-8 p.m.

Basically, it comes down to hospitality. If you have a bit of knowledge of food and wine pairing you can make the experience of being round your table more enjoyable for your guests and who can argue with that?
