  1. pairing 4 wines with a meal of 4 courses?

    good god,  do you even know what you're doing?


  2. Do you mean different in color, body, country or style?

    Without knowing the answer, I would say: Zinfandel, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Franca, Grenache, and possibly Viognier.

    Anyway, give us more info...this is an interesting question.

  3. I would use Chardonnay.

    You would start with a Chardonnay based champagne.  Many of the Champagne from France and bubbly from all over the world are made from Chardonnay grape.

    For the main courses, you can use various styles of Chardonnay, from heavily oaked buttery Northern Californian Chard to Central Coast acidic Chard to French style Chardonnay, as well as various Chardonnay based blended wines.  That way, you can get a variety of diverse wine based on the same grape.

    Last, I would consider Chardonnay Port.  In Napa, Prager makes a Chardonnay Port that is just yummy!  You can also use Chardonnay grape and make ice wine.  At least in theory you can.

    Other possible grape choice include Riesling - but much more boring due to sweetness; Syrah - Australian makes both Syrah bubbly and Syrah port as well as various Syrah based blend.  Even Pinot Noir would be considered - make some Rose with that, but again not as exciting as Chardonnay can be.

  4. you could use chardonnay maybe- use a champangne blanc that has been made with chardonnay. Then a Chablis which is dry and flinty- then a full bodied chardonnay. chardonnay doesn't make a sweet wine, but i can't think of another grape variety that is so diverse- does it have to be the same grape?

    If it is the same grape and you don't actually have to buy them look at the loire and a sub region called Anjou- Samur( i'm sure you can find more info on the net) they use chenin blanc(local name Pineau) to make every thing from sparkling to still dry  to sweet depending on the ripeness of the grape. other sub regions that use chenin blanc are toraine and Vouvray

    I'd probably use fish as the base for your food, and if you do it like the Europeans then you only eat fish or meat through the whole meal-none of this fish course, meat course thing that the english and ozzies do

    hope that helps

  5. Riesling. from dry to sweet depending on the country it is grown and produced in...
