Pairing with Childhood Favorites

July 29, 2011 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

There are foods that everyone associates with the happy moments of childhood.  Macaroni and cheese is the perfect food to any five year old, but could an adult love it as part of a sophisticated meal with friends and wine?  Well of course it can.  Wine can pair with the hot, gooey pasta dish just as easily as it pairs with well, cheese. After all, cheese and wine is the most classic combination.  Take into account though that good wine will make cheap mac-n-cheese taste just that. For best results in transforming this kid favorite meal into a nostalgic adult one, it is best to make the pasta dish homemade. This gives more control over the cheeses and keeps out any preservatives that could give an off taste when paired with wine. 
                Modern cuisine is in love with grown-up versions of these classic kid dishes too. Some restaurants are even serving mac-n-cheese but with things like crumbled bacon and bits of green onion in them for a more complex flavor. Take a clue from the hot chefs of the day and reinvent a nostalgic food but with touches for the more discerning palette. Next pair them with wine decanters of simply bright wine that also has subtle hints of more complex things, it makes for a close and casual feel at dinner parties without seeming too laid back.
