Pairing Veal and Wine
Veal Marsala is prepared with Marsala wine, a sweet wine from Sicily. For wine pairing
suggestions see our tables.
Choosing a Wine to Match Your Veal Dish
Considering that veal is a "white" meat you may be surprised that many people suggest
pairing it with selected red wines. Sharp eyes will notice that I said the same thing
for pork dishes. What about chicken? You'll have to see for yourself. The point is
that wine and food pairings can't be expressed in simple rules. There is one exception,
if you enjoy such and such a pairing, why not?

veal dish. When you click on any wine a new page pops up telling you what you need to know about that
