Pairing Salad and Wine

Goat cheese salad and French wine

What a classic combination, goat cheese salad and French wine such as Sancerre. And some claim that wine and salad can't be matched. Actually it is hard to match this pairing.

Choosing a Wine to Match Your Salad

Here are some guidelines for matching wine and salad. I remember a time when it was said that wines and salad don't go together, and the recommended drink was mineral water. Times change. Enjoy!
