I’m a lover of wine but have always been intimidated by wine culture, especially here in California where I live. I stumbled upon this blog and liked the articles enough to check out this eBook, just for my own knowledge. Not only is it visually stunning, it’s full of useful information that I can reference when trying to pair wine and food (FYI my prior knowledge included limited general info – white wine for fish and red wine for red meat!). It’s VERY specific, like there are lists of specific types of cheese and the wines they pair well with. There is also a wide variety of wines that are referenced so if you’re into trying different varietals (like me), this may help you pair unfamiliar wines with the right meal. The most interesting info I came across was about acidity in wine and the way that this reacts with food (small spoiler: acid neutralizes acidic food – like, whaattttt). The writer also has an inviting and friendly writing style that makes it easy to read and keeps you interested. Overall a great purchase and at reasonable price, I will be referencing it in the future.

I’ve always been curious about the secrets of wine and food pairing and eager to know how the right combination can boost or ruin the perfect meal. What up to now seemed like an impossible lesson to learn, becomes easy and fun just by following this guide. Smart, well thought, and not complex at all, even for the most profane of readers when it comes to wine pairing (like me), this book makes it possible to make your diners shine just by understanding concepts that have so far remained a mystery. Anna’s light but entertaining prose as well as her deep knowledge of wine and cuisine are at the center of this great guide to keep always at hand when entering the kitchen! I can’t wait for more wine guides to come out to finally unravel the stunning world of wine!

The ONLY wine & food pairing guide you will ever need! I keep this in my kitchen and on my phone and reference it at every meal to help me make an educated decision when choosing which wine will complement each dish. Anna does an amazing job of simplifying an intimidating topic so that you too can feel confident when serving or drinking wine at home or during a night out.🍷

A beautiful, accessible wine guide for both wine lovers and strangers. Being the only one in my wine-obsessed family and my wide circle of friends who doesn’t like wine/alcohol, I never knew what to serve these people along with my meals when I threw a dinner party. This awesome guide had all the tips I needed to pair my meals with wines that actually complement them (and get my relatives too drunk to remember to ask when I’m gonna get married). No more complaints for throwing dry shindigs!

Accessible, yet incredibly informative – if you love wine, you need this in your life. Anna Maria does an exceptional job of breaking down wine. A great read from start to finish, this guide is also great if you need to quickly need to reference something for a pairing. This guide has introduced me to wines I would never think to try on my own, but have quickly grown to love. So glad I found this and expanded my wine horizons! 🍷
