Food and Wine Pairings

Oberon Wines are created to enjoy at your dining room table or in your own backyard. Pairing food with wine is truly up to your tastes and preferences. Of course, we have made some recommendations based upon our experiences with each wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep, rich black and red berry flavors with firm tannins our Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with:
   • grilled steak seasoned simply with salt & pepper
   • flat iron steak served with crumbled gorgonzola
   • barbequed baby back ribs
   • robust, hard cheeses

Merlot
Oberon Merlot is crafted to enjoy around the fire or paired with a variety of meals, including:
   • classic hamburgers from the grill
   • steak or chicken shish kebobs marinated pork chops
   • grilled or pan seared salmon
   • pasta with hearty meat or vegetarian sauces
   • polenta and sautéed seasonable vegetables
   • pizza from the grill or from the oven

Sauvignon Blanc
We enjoy a glass of Oberon Sauvignon Blanc while preparing our meals, and our Sauvignon Blanc is a perfect glass to offer guests as they arrive. For food pairings, try:
   • creamy or firm cheeses garnished with fresh seasonal fruit
   • grilled white fish or swordfish
   • shrimp shish kebobs served over rice
   • crab cakes
   • Thai food or other light spicy foods
