If you’re like me, you probably thinking of fixing up a romantic, Mac and Cheese dinner for Valentine’s Day. But there’s always the question of what wine is the best to pair with Mac and Cheese. I checked in with Fiona Beckett who is a food journalist and leading expert on food and wine pairing. She prefers white wine with regular Mac and Cheese. But if you go fancier with something more creamy and add in something special like lobster to your mac and cheese, then a chardonnay will work well. If it more of a hearty thick cheese, Fiona says a brown ale is good. She gives seven different drinks and types of mac an cheese to pair them with on HER WEB SITE.
You would probably actually impress your date if you fixed Lobster Mac and Cheese with a nice chardonnay or champagne. Here’s a a recipe for a fancy version that isn’t too hard to whip up at home.
