Food and Wine

We all taste--but what are we tasting? Knowing the factors involved in how we taste can help us develop our individual palette. Unlike the many critical reviews of food and wine pairings, this book gives a systematic approach based on personal tastes. Covering the most common international and regional wines, the author explains how they relate to the foods we eat. Fun "homework" assignments that match specific wines with recipes and variations help readers learn how they taste as individuals.
