Customer Reviews

Needs a bit more detail

This book is very helpful for the beginner who is trying to get a sense of what food to put with a particular wine. However, it is lacking in some detail about why some wines go well with certain foods. It would be more helpful if it went into the characteristics of certain foods and seasonings and why those pair well with the characteristics of the wines. It is a handy reference though and well worth the price!

Five Stars Plus a Thank You

This is the first practical book I have seen that tells you simply and easily which wines go best with which food. The nicest thing about the book is that it is not stuffy. It tells you which wines will go well with things like nachos, Kentucky Fried Chicken as well as elegant foods like Chateaubriand, coq du vin, etc. Tells you, too, how and where to buy wine....and all the wines are American !
