Maybe you know that it's white wine with fish, but what if you're serving Jambalaya? Master sommelier Evan Goldstein has created this site to guide users through creative wine and food pairings. No hard and fast rules here, just plenty of information. Start either with food or with wine. If you've got a bottle of Muscat, for example, click to find an appetizer, cheese, dessert, salad, ethnic dish or poultry dish to go with it. Or you can start with a food item and see a list of suitable wines. Care for a nice Gamay with that hot dog? Yes, the list even includes fast food.
Food for Thought has detailed advice on what to do with ingredients and seasonings; Wine for Thought explains everything you want to know about wine, from Tasting 101 to Vintage Charts that give a grading system based on the overall quality of the vintage year for specific regions and varietals.
