Discount Wine Cellars: Why Red Wine Tastes Funky With Fish
I mean this pairing tastes funky in a bad way, like nasty. According to a somewhat recent article on msn (hey folks, I've been out of town!), Japanese researchers have finally discovered why fish isn't too tasty when paired with a red wine: higher iron content. Now, this doesn't mean you must forgo reds altogether, just be prepared for a stronger aftertaste of the fishy variety if the vino is loaded with iron. There are low iron reds out there, but in general the best wines to pair with seafood are whites. Save those reds in the wine cellar for steak! Or, perhaps you love that fishy taste so pull out the Ocean Wine Charm Set and get busy!
The elaborate study published in the American Chemical Society's Journal of Agricultural and and Food Chemistry was conducted on poor taste testers who got to dine on scallops and wine. Oh, the pain the misery of being involved in such a study! I would probably need LOTS of samples, you know just to make sure I could detect the not-so-complimentary flavors. Hello! More bottlings from the 144 bottle supreme wine cellar please, I need to make sure my cakehole full of scallops is hydrated with delicious wine (only white please). Thanks!
