There's this thing our French friends call food and wine pairing. I don't actually prefer a good bottle of wine over a cold beer after a
good hearty meal, but sometimes, my curiosity takes hold of my better judgment. With this, I tried picking a bottle of wine which I think would match my next meal in mind yesterday. The results were disastrous! I think I got the wrong bottle of wine, the wrong meal, or just about the wrong person to test it out!
Having learned my lesson, I now know what sort of wine goes with which sort of food. Those greasy fast food meals should only be paired with a cold beer, and those delicately fine gourmet meals should always be eaten with a good bottle of
gourmet wine. The more expensive your meal is, the more expensive the bottle of wine that should go with it! You should know that in the situation where food and gourmet wine pairings are as important as winning the World Cup (and too bad, the French team lasted like a tasty gourmet dinner gone spoiled in the end), the main aspect is balance. You see, with a bad gourmet meal, getting a good bottle of wine to go with it would only make your experience worse! You should make it a point to choose a bad bottle of gourmet wine with bad gourmet food, for it would at least leave you with something that's just bad and not worse!
