In other words, serve cheese when you're selling wine, eat bread when you want to be critical in your judgment. It must be the bitter streak in (some) Swiss cheese that's clashing with the Chardonnay.<BR/><BR/>Matching food and wine is mostly trial and error. I've found, for example, that spicy foods (like Chili or Indian food) go better with fruity red wines rather than spicy or tannic ones. Salty foods (like Bratwurst or corned beef) go better with a low alcohol white like a German Riesling.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip. I'll think about it and come up with some ideas about wine and food.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604297838201539175.post-23199114665651172162008-03-25T21:51:00.000-04:002008-03-25T21:51:00.000-04:00Any help on what tastes good and goes together?

Generally I am a fan of, "If you like it, it works!" Not. So. Tonight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
