Be the perfect host. Whether you are having friends over or are hosting a bigger event a lot of things can make or break your evening.
Let’s find some wines that pair well with bruschetta. As the salad’s dominant flavor will be the tomatoes and their acidity. You will want to stay away from big, tannic reds (acid makes the tannins harsh) and oaky chardonnay (not acidic enough) and focus on crisp white wines that will stand up to the acidity of the tomatoes
Remember one thing. Wine is not an exact science. If you don’t like the wines above do choose the wine you like.
