Choosing wines for your wedding reception can be an overwhelming decision. You will want to choose a red and a white wine. Before you select your favorite wine, think about what wines your guest will fully appreciate and enjoy with their buffet or sit-down dinner. Desert wines are always optional. Food and wine are hand in hand.

*Popular Whites

Chardonnay  Always a guest pleaser. A stylish lightly fruit grape wine thats smooth and pairs well with seafood, rich creamy pasta and chicken dishes.

Sauvignon Blanc  Very distinctive wine. Crisp and intense, best with pasta and cheese. Great for cocktail hour!

Reisling  Elegant wine. Fabulous and full of rich fruit, try it with fish, shrimp, cold meat dishes, and desert.

*Popular Reds

Merlot  The most seductive wine. Carries a natural sweetness that pairs well with almost all foods. Meat, chicken, and sauce pastas.

Cabernet Sauvigon  Selective wine. Can be hard to please. Known for the king of red grapes. Its deep blackcurrant taste and color pairs ultimately with flavor dishes.

Pinot Noir  Very well loved. This elegant wine pairs well with game dishes, duck, and fish dishes.

Take a little Wine 101 to find those two perfect wines to please your guest! Washington State has several wineries that offer wine tastings. Take your bridesmaids with you and make a wine tasting day full of fun!
