Food And Wine Matching: When Did This Get So Bold?
Let me go right out on a limb and say that I had no idea that food and wine matching was such a passionate practice.
When was I sent the memo that all of this was happening withing the food and wine world?
The simple fact is this…there are a lot, and I mean a lot of people out there that simply love how they pair wines and foods.
And all of this has gotten down to personal taste.
In the older days, pasta dishes had to be paired with a red.
Those days are completely over and the wine companies are the ones enabling this adventerous new way of thinking. Why indeed should a certain dish automatically be paired with a certain type of wine when really, there are no rules to this that have to be followed! Is this the time to break with centuries worth of tradition to achieve the right food and wine balance?
Absolutely!
And isn’t that the absolute fun here? Isn’t that what food and wine matching is all about?
Here are the days (especially on cable television) where the chef will prepare something wonderful and then literally dare you to match that up with a very unexpected wine!
What a new way of thinking for such and old way of pairing!
Food and wine matching is now being encouraged to have as much of your fingerprint on it as does your recipe book. The wine companies want you to be daring and bold and they really want you to express how you match your favorite foods with your favorite wines. They want this to be a lot of fuin…and you know what…it really should be!
Let yourself fully go as you enter this crazy new way of thinking about pairing wines and foods…put your fingerprint on everything. Take chances and be rewarded.
If the old ways are indeed the old ways, let the new ways be all about adventure. Break the mold. Set your own standards.
How you match foods and wines is all about who you are.
Food and wine matching has never been this exciting. Get into it now!
