Food and Wine Pairings - Can you go wrong?
The gourment & wine industry puts too much pressure on perfecting the “art” of food and wine pairings. All too often we hear “red wine goes with meat, white wine with fish.” I guess this would make sense if we all had the same exact palate when it came to food and wine pairings, but guess what, we don’t. If we all followed the same flavor profiles, there would be no such thing as a Robert Parker.
So when pairing food and wine, whether be fish, a rib eye or even a spicy slim him - drink what YOU like - not the experts. I love food and wine because it is all about being able to have an experience with your senses - even if that means pairing a tilapia fillet with a glass of Chianti!
