As thousands of wines from around the globe enter the marketplace
and the American palate continues to adopt flavors from a range of
cultures, the task of pairing wine and food becomes increasingly
complicated. No longer is the choice simply red or white, or wines
from California, France, or Italy. The typical shopper today has
access to wines from those regions plus South Africa, Chile,
Argentina, New Zealand, and Australia. If that isn't confusing
enough, Asian, Latin American, and Creole dishes might find their
way onto the same table. "Perfect Pairings", by well-known Master
Sommelier and respected restaurant industry veteran Evan Goldstein,
provides straightforward, practical advice for choosing the right
bottle for each meal. The quintessential resource for matching wine
and food, this book includes 58 companion recipes developed by
celebrated chef Joyce Goldstein that showcase each type of
wine."Perfect Pairings" combines in-depth explorations of twelve
grape varietals, sparkling wines, and dessert wines with guidance
about foods that enhance the wide range of styles for each
varietal. Whether the Chardonnay is earthy and flinty; rich,
buttery, and oak-infused; fruity and tropical; or aged and mature,
Goldstein explains how to match it with dishes that will make the
wine sing. His clear, educational, and entertaining approach
towards intimidating gastronomical questions provides information
for all readers, professional and amateur alike. It features: 16
full-color photos; six seasonal and special occasion menus; tips
for enhancing food and wine experiences, both at home and in
restaurants; glossary of wine terminology; overview of the world's
primary wine-growing regions; and recommendations of more than five
hundred wines, ranging in price from everyday to splurge.
