Instructions

1. Match the quality of the ingredients of the food to the quality of the wine. If you are using farm fresh eggs, artisanal cheese and fresh produce from the farmer's market, look for a better quality bottle of wine. If you are using ingredients of a lesser quality, such as processed cheese and frozen vegetables, its okay to skimp on the wine.

2. Balance the intensities of the flavor. For a lighter cheese, choose a lighter white wine. If you are serving an asparagus quiche, pair it with a fruity chardonnay or sauvignon blanc.

3. Pair flavors in the quiche and the wine. For a mushroom or truffle quiche, serve with an earthy red, such as a pinot noir.

4. Pick the unusual pairing. Drinking champagne with a crab quiche is an unexpected but delightful pairing.

5. Match the wine to the cheese in the quiche. Try a dry or sweeter white wine with a goat cheese quiche, or a red wine with a sharp Cheddar cheese quiche.
