What are some common food pairings for Pinot Noir?

Pinot Noir's versatility lies in its ability to have multiple types of foods as companions. Its light body and acidity are two characteristics, which make it a perfect choice to pair with dishes associated with salmon or other fatty fish because the acidity of the wine makes the richness produced by the fish easier on your palette. And like Pinot Noir, the flavors of roast chicken, pork tenderloin and duck are perfectly delivered and the savory taste of the dish is not masked. For vegetarians, the crowd pleaser Pinot Noir goes beautifully with mushrooms dishes like risotto and grilled portobello mushrooms with vine earthy flavors pairing with the umami quality of mushrooms.
