You’ll often hear me tell my audience that drinking wine without food is like listening to Luciano Pavarotti sing Nessun dorma in mono instead of stereo. When you complement wine with food, your palate experience not only goes from mono to stereo; it takes a sensory leap to surround sound. Master Sommelier, Evan Goldstein’s, Perfect Pairings, with recipes by Joyce Goldstein, has been my go-to reference in talks and training sessions on enhancing the wine experience.
