Q: What wine goes with corned beef and cabbage?

A: Our suggestion for the perfect alternative to green beer this St. Patty's Day is a simple glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Sometimes described as a little "green" because of its herbal qualities, a Sauvignon Blanc will cut through the saltiness of the corned beef and add its own little zip to the dish. Keep in mind that a good wine and food match will only be a success if you like both the wine and the food, so don't hesitate to try one of your favorite wines this St. Patrick's day.
