Ideally, since Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the Tenute San Guido Sassicaia, it is perfectly matched with Braised Beef, Moussaka, Grilled Radicchio with Balsamic Glaze, Lamb, Burgers, Thyme and Roasted Mushrooms and Polenta.  These fit the wine because Cabernet Sauvignon is big, bold and brash red wine.  Each of these foods has underlying reasons for its appropriateness towards the wine.  Just like for instance the Moussaka, it is a better combination since the eggplant can be a little bitter.  However, with the wine, the bitterness is canceled out.  With that, it makes the wine vibrant and smooth.  Otherwise, the wine can also be an alternative way to cook with food to have a better taste.

Upon serving, the Dom Perignon is suggested to be chilled in the refrigerator for at least two hours before it will be served.  The temperature is 45 degrees Fahrenheit.  However, if the bottle is not in the fridge, place the container in an ice bucket which is filled with water and ice equally.  In terms of food pairing, the champagnes best suits with desserts.  Also, savory foods like salmon and pork can also be well paired.  Take note that the champagne is fewer bubbles rather than any drink.   So you select less textured foods.
