Comments

Azzo Properties: We have enjoyed this book and the pairings so well that we now have an annual tradition of rereading the book, picking a new combination, and spending the night trying the ones we each brought. Highly recommend!

J. Rossi: I wish I were more eloquent writer, and then I could write the review that this book deserves. But what I can say is that I savored every minute that I spent reading this book. Equal parts, witty, funny, passionate and educational, you simply cannot go wrong in purchasing this book. I like wine, I love food, and I really love pairing them. This book gave me so many ideas that I would never have thought of, and expanding my mind more than I can say. I learned so much about wine by reading it, that I feel like I could sweep a Jeopardy category. Absolutely going to be buying additional copies for wine friends.

moussa sacha mobarak: Picked up this book as it came well recommended by a wine loving friend. It’s been a great resource and a fun read. The book does not simply call for paring wines with Big Macs (Burgandy), PB&J (Lambrusco) or quesadillas (red rioja), but rather guides the reader through a series of heuristics on how best to compliment or mimic the flavors of the foods you’re eating. Flavors are dissected and a methodology of pairing is explained so the reader will understand to look the acidity in a wine against salt, or a flavorful wine to overcome the taste masking effects of fat, or how to pair sweet with sweet. All this is easily explained while bringing you on a tour of wine, wine history, production, grapes, and regions. I went from approaching the wine store and “knowing what I liked” to a real understanding of why I like particular wines and how to easily buy the right wine to enhance a meal.

Rusty Gaffney MD: I am a wine writer and wine critic so take this into account in this review.

This is a terrific book on wine that I have read twice. This book presents wine varietal knowledge in very understandable terms, suggests perfect pairings of common foods and wines, and does all this in the context of the writer’s life experiences in wine, which often led me to laugh out loud. There is no pretentiousness to be found.

Vanessa Price, who authored this book along with Adam Laukhuf, has worked in many sides of the wine industry in addition to writing a wine column for New York Magazine. Her column in this magazine became the catalyst for the book. The result was a plethora of food and wine pairing suggestions and ideas for the readers to create their own pairings. There is an emphasis on the consumer experimenting and understanding that there are no wrong pairings. There are many wine tips as well regarding decanting wine, storing wine safely, and winegrowing methods.

I tried out some of the suggested pairings. Big Macs are a suggested pairing for red Burgundy, but I found California Pinot Noir works equally well. I happen to love to snack on Cheez-Its, especially the...

Laura Garzon: This is a relatable book on a topic that is mostly presented as an unrelatable bougie one
