Welcome to the California Wine Magazine Pairing Advisor!

We have created a basic food and wine pairing tool that supplies the standard profiles for the most common California wines as well as what foods pair best with that wine. We have also included a few recipes that we have found to be excellent companions for our highlighted wines; full dinners as well as 30 minute mid-week quick meals.
