The right glass for the dish
Wine Pairing Finder
Choose the main ingredient, how it is cooked and how rich the dish is. The finder suggests three wines with the reason behind each, from Chablis to Barolo.
Pairing is a set of rules with exceptions: acidity against fat, tannin against protein, sweetness against sweetness, weight against weight. The finder encodes those rules for 26 wine styles and matches them to your dish. It works for a menu you are planning at home as well as for the restaurant list you are reading right now.
The finder scores each wine style on body, acidity, tannin, sweetness and aromatic intensity against the dish’s profile. It is a guide, not a law: if you love Champagne with steak, you are in good company.
Frequently asked questions
Does it know specific wines?
It knows 26 styles, from Muscadet to Barolo to Sauternes, with typical regions and grapes. The sommelier picks the bottle.
What about sake and beer?
Sake appears as a style for raw fish and umami-rich dishes; beer is a separate conversation.
Can I pair a whole tasting menu?
Run the finder course by course; a pairing is a sequence of individual decisions.
