Wrong answer... Wine Quiz Answer: C. Pinot Noir and Tex-Mex
Follow the same principles in matching casual meals with wine as you would with fancier fare. Think about complementary or contrasting textures, weights and flavors. The only combination here that won't work is pinot noir with Tex-Mex because the dish is too spicy and hot for the delicate nuances of pinot. But go ahead and try the others, and you'll discover a whole new world of pleasure!
