It is more of a subjective process than an exact science, leaving plenty of creative space to use to impress customers. Restaurant operators should consider the trends regarding wine consumption in their own areas, and create food and wine pairings that accommodate the preferences of a variety of different patrons. Food and wine pairing is all about balance. As experts have noted, drinking alcohol has become a pivotal part of the restaurant experience.
Food and wine pairings allow consumers to feel like they are making an informed selection when they are perusing the menu.

Still, more people than ever in the U. This showcases the willingness of customers to spend more in order to enjoy more flavorful wines, particularly those that complement their meal and their surroundings.
In addition to offering different varieties of wine, restaurant operators also will want to offer pairings at various price points in order to include all customers. Food and wine pairings can be incorporated into a menu in a variety of ways. Restaurant owners may consider creating a food and wine pairing event in which patrons sit down for a several-course meal.

Those looking for Pleasant Ridge Reserve or other artisan cheeses no longer have to venture to Minneapolis for their preferred fromages. Many varieties are available in half-bottles, making them perfect to add to a picnic basket, which Pairings also sells on the market side of the store.

Gourmet food and wine shop in Minnetonka Shady Oak Rd. We were at Pairings on Wednesday night and thought it was amazing! The food was great and the service was good, too. I love the fact that you can get a bottle of wine in the wine shop and take it over to the food shop and enjoy it on the patio with food. The selection of cheeses are great. This was a much needed concept for the west side. I have eaten at Pairings Food and Wine Market at least a dozen times now and it is by far the best new eatery in town!
Pairings has been a fantastic addition to the SW loop of area. The pastas are tender, tasty and thoughtfully enrobed with a variety of sauces to ensure that you will want to run through the menu from A to Z!
The wood-fired pizzas are flavorful featuring a great list of top drawer ingredients for make-your-own or a great group of gourmet combos.
