Summer wine and food pairing

Hello everyone this is your ticket into the wine and food pairing world from a person who has gone to culinary art school and is now perusing a dream to become a sommelier. First thing that you all need to know about food and wine pairing is that all the ingredients in a dish need to compliment a wine. For summer most people tend to go for the Margaritas or other refreshing alcoholic drinks, but if you want wine migrate towards a refreshing white wine. Standing Stone Gewurztraminer(guh-VURTS-trah-mee-ner)is a New York state wine with lychee(it is a tropical and subtropical fruit tree)and grapefruit notes. This wine is dry on the palate and is exquisite for a hot summer day.

Good Food Pairings-

-Salami and fatty meets
-Shell fish
