In case your wine and spring fare pairing skills have gotten rusty over the long winter, here are 5 suggestions perfect for spring meals! 

Pasta Primavera and Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio is a bright wine with enough acidity to cut through the creamy sauces used in pasta primavera. Choose one with a fruity bouquet to go nicely with the fresh spring vegetables in the dish! 

Grilled Salmon and Pinot Noir

The first wild salmon runs begin in spring, and this is one fish with a robust enough flavor profile that it doesn't need to be paired with a white wine per traditional custom. Pinot noir is an ideal wine for pairing with a grilled salmon dinner because it's got a bolder flavor than white wine yet isn't so rich that it overpowers this popular fish's taste. 

Fruit Salad and Moscato 

The first fruit salad of the season is definitely a special treat, particularly when it's enjoyed al fresco on a warm summer evening with a deliciously cool glass of Moscato. With just the right combination of sweetness and acidity, this beverage pairs excellently with fresh fruits! 

Trout Almandine and Sparkling Rosé

Trout almandine is an ideal entree for an elegant romantic dinner for two, and bringing a sparkling rosé to the picture adds a classy finishing touch that provides a celebratory accent. Sparkling wines go with everything, but this one's particularly suited to complementing the light, delicate flavor of freshly caught trout. 

Roast Lamb and Merlot

Spring lamb is another seasonal delight that's suitable for special occasion meals. Like salmon, it has a strong enough flavor profile to pair well with red wine rather than white, but it needs something more substantial than pinot noir. Merlot is an excellent choice for serving with roast lamb.
