Can I have a little Cheese with my Whine?
First - a disclaimer. I’m not much of a wine drinker. In fact, when drinking at all, on the rare occasion, I prefer tequila - usually in the form of margaritas the size of my head.
That said, I’ve always been fascinated by the paring of wine with certain foods. When people speak of this being a perfect match for that, and use white for this and red for that - I find it kinda sexy that they know such things. Then they ask what I think, and I develop a tick behind my eye, and start to drool a little, and develop a blank stare that is impossible to break through. Because I haven’t a clue…
So - being the type of gal who rarely drinks, and who knows nothing about paring food and wine without whining myself, I found Rachael Ray’s guide to be especially helpful and easy to understand. Not only that, but all of their wine choices are under $20. I’m pretty sure that if you ask your local liquor store clerk to help when you can’t find a specific wine, they’d be happy to find one that is similar.
Now, I just have to decide to not be a hermit, invite someone over to cook and get drunk with. Who’s with me? Summer’s a time of adventure, right? Besides - it’d be all in the name of research….
