Pascale’s Wine & Liquors is a women-owned, family-operated business with a diverse wine assortment. Our knowledgeable staff can help you find a bottle of wine that will be perfect for any event – without clashing with the flavors on your menu. Complete with suggested food pairings, our styles of wine include the following:
Red wine comes in a range of flavors, such as light-, medium-, and full-bodied profiles. Red wine is made with the juice of dark-skinned and fermented grapes. This is what creates its deep, wide-ranging color. Some red wines may appear dark purple, while others are ruby red. Depending on the flavor profile, you can expect aromas of berries, plums, licorice, cocoa, or other subtle notes.
Since full-bodied red wine has a firmer structure, it pairs well with dinner foods, such as steak and other red meats. Medium- and light-bodied red wines pair well with acidic foods, such as chicken recipes with roasted veggies and pasta dishes with tomato sauce. It's also a great choice for dinner parties and formal events.
From buttery and earthy flavors to citrusy and fruity flavors, white wine comes in a range of acidities. The pH balance in white wine is the determining flavor factor. White wines that are more acidic, or crisp and fruity tasting, come from less-ripened white grapes. If you prefer a smoother flavor profile, try a less acidic white wine made with riper grapes.
White wine gives off fruity aromas of citrus, tree fruits, and melon. Pair your choice of white wine with light-intensity foods, such as seafood or grilled chicken. A bottle of white wine is perfect to take with you to a casual get-together with friends, a bridal shower, or a lunch party.
Rosé and blush wines are created by removing the skin of dark, fermented grapes and pressing them to create a sweet, pale-pink hue. The flavor of these types of wine is a mixture of sweet, fruity, and floral. They are known for their perfume-like aromas and red berry flavor.
Pair a glass of rosé or blush wine with soft cheeses, chocolates, nuts, or fruit. This type of wine goes great with charcuterie boards and cheese trays at any party.
If you are looking for a bubbly wine to celebrate with, champagne or sparkling wine is a perfect choice. With the carbonated texture and the flavor of fruits and florals, these drinks range from translucent to shimmery gold hues.
These bubbly beverages are versatile in terms of food pairing — enjoy them with foods like breakfast, salty snacks, shellfish and oysters, and decadent desserts.
Both dessert and port wines have a higher sweetness level than other wines. This sweet flavor is due to the ripeness of the grapes and the higher alcohol content. Enjoy these wines chilled alongside cake, fruit cobbler, or your favorite chocolate dessert.
