Wine and food pairing guidelines
Why do we even worry about trying to pair wine with food? The object is to use the wine to enhance the taste of the food. The overall dining experience with a good pairing should be much more memorable than having either the wine or the food alone. A poorly thought out wine-food pairing can actually detract from both the food and the wine, 1 + 1= 0. A good pairing is 1 + 1 = 2 but with a great pairing, 1 + 1 = 3.
