Some fruits just seem obvious to pair with wine, but other combinations are a far stretch of the mind. While apples and grapes are pretty standard, tropical fruits for though are not the first thing most people think of. People usually go for a fruit flavor that flavor that the wine already has in it. But think outside the box for a minute and try this, mango with your wine. In any way you want it, mango goes well with sweet or crisp wines reds and even some whites. Try even putting the mango in savory dishes and serving them with a slightly dryer wine. You can also try out mixing the complex sweetness of the mango with your favorite lighter cheeses as well as wines; for a more complete drinking experience. You will quickly fall in love with the taste sensations that this pair create.
Try decorating some cheese boards with an array of light cheeses and cut mango, get some different varieties of wine and you can have a small party to introduce your friends to this unusual but splendid combination. Also take this as a lesson to enjoy experimentation with different flavors. Mango is such a summer flavor, but so are fruits like watermelon. Enjoy your wine and experience it, not just drink it.
