Text This Winery’s Tipline To Pair Pizza & Wine

Wondering what wine would go best with your pizza tonight? Both can be delicious on their own, but finding the right combination can elevate the flavor of both. And some advice from pros in the know can help you find it.

The Francis Ford Coppola Winery is launching a live text tipline dishing out expert advice on wine and pizza pairing. It goes live this summer, at the same time as the winemaker’s second annual Perfect Your Pizza contest.

  • From July 1st to August 31st, home cooks have the chance to submit their pizza recipe and wine pairing submissions for the chance to win $25-thousand.
  • Those who enter are competing for a trip to the Sonoma County winery, where four finalists will cook off to win the $25-thousand grand prize.
  • For specific advice about which wine goes well with your pizza, you’ll be able to text 601-706-WINE (9463) from 9a.m. to 5p.m. PST during July and August.

Until that tipline opens, Tim Bodell, executive chef at Rustic, the on-site restaurant at the winery, offers some advice. “When pairing pizza with wine, look for the balance of flavors and how to match the intensity of the wine to the ingredients of the pizza,” he recommends. “Keep in mind the sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami and smoke, and how those flavors react with the wine.”
