While we do offer our opinions and why we selected a specific varietal, there is no right or wrong answer when pairing a wine with your dinner.Pinot Noir WineWhen pairing wine with sticky pork, you’ll want to choose a wine that complements the flavors of the dish and balances its sweetness. I would choose a Pinot Noir. A Pinot Noir is a light-bodied red wine that pairs well with pork because of its low tannin and high acidity. Look for a Pinot Noir with notes of cherry and raspberry, which will complement the sweetness of the sticky pork.
