Understanding Wine Labels and Terminology

Wine labels can be overwhelming, especially for those new to the world of wine. At Golden Heels, we're committed to demystifying this process by providing clear explanations and expert guidance.

When it comes to wine labels, there are a few key things to look out for. The first is the region or country of origin, which can greatly impact the flavor profile and overall quality of the wine. Next, you'll want to pay attention to the grape variety, as this will also influence the taste and character of the wine.

Finally, be sure to check the vintage date, as this can affect the aging process and overall maturity of the wine.

Tips for Wine Pairing and Food Matching

Wine pairing is an art that requires experimentation and creativity. At Golden Heels, we're passionate about helping you find the perfect wine to complement your favorite dishes.

One of the most important things to remember when it comes to wine pairing is to consider the flavor profile of both the wine and the food. For example, if you're serving a rich and fatty dish like foie gras, you'll want to choose a wine that can cut through the richness with its acidity and tannins.

Another key consideration is the weight and texture of the wine. A heavy, full-bodied wine may not be suitable for a delicate fish dish, while a crisp and refreshing white wine might be perfect for a light and citrusy salad.
