the standard wine reviews where every wine gets a goodor positive rating to avoid offence.There's nothing worse than buyinga recommended bottle and then hating it when you open it.The truthis that not allwine is good,and your enjoyment of it can be influenceddramatically by the food and people with whom you share it.  \nThe reality is you don't need to know a lot about wine to enjoy it-andyou don't need to have ahuge bank balance either.Many ofAustralia's best wines(and I mean quality,not the price tag)nevermake it to the large retail outlets or chain stores.For many years nowIve been scouring the country's wine regions to find Australia's hiddengems.I've been hanging out with vignerons and winemakers from theBarossa to the Tamar and Yarra Valleys,and beyond.I even got sopassionate about wine that I went to learn more about it -andreceived London's International Wine Spirit Education Trust Level 3qualifications.In fact,I have also almost completed mytwo-yearDiploma in Wine and Spirit(WSET4).  \nI'm sure you'll agree that one of the best things about drinking wine issharing it with friends over some good food.The matching of wine topeople is actually quite a difficult skill,but it's somethingljust kind offell into and have become pretty good at.So much so that my friendsregularly ask me for wine suggestions -from everyday drinking wineto special occasions;and from drink nows to exploring the benefits ofcellaring.  \nMatching food to your wine can also be a challenge,and somethingmany people get a little nervous about.The old adage that white winecan only be matched to chicken,fish or seafood no longer applies.Foryears Ive been designing food matches from simple 3-course meals toextravagant 14-course degustation dinners with my wife,MrsMatchmaker,who creates the recipes.Together we enjoy exploringthe flavours of wine and how each could be amplified and  \ncomplemented with various dishes,and it's something we've becomepetty good at together.  \nSo,in a nutshell,that’s what Wine Matchmaker is all about:no holdsbarred reviews of everyday wines l taste,as well as some of myfavourite hidden gems'foryou to explore;how each wine could bebest matched to food,and what kind of person would enjoy eachwine.This,coupled with a few recipesyou can cookat home meansyou can create your own perfect dinners that are sure to impress anddelight.We also run exclusive wine dinners and education sessions,and commencing in October 2020,theyll be run through our veryown back vintage wine bar-Life's Too Short Bar in East Melbourne-so you can learn even more,should you wish.  \nSo please have alookaround,read some of the posts and give meyour thoughts and feedback.Whether you agree with me or notplease feel free to leave your constructive thoughts.  \nEnjoy,  \nAntony AndersonThe Wine Matchmaker.  \nWine and food pairing:An introduction.  \nOne of the most common questions I get is around matching wine to food.In thiseBook Ill talk about how to know when the right wine is matched with the rightfood-that's where the magic happens and they become more than the sum oftheir parts.In future articles,I'llcover matching wine to specific cuisines,but let'sstart with ageneral introduction to the basics of wine and food pairing.  \nThere are some general rules that work well,but the rules are not always hardand fast.For example,you've probably heard you should match white wine withwhite meat and red wine with red meat.Whilst this is a good general guide it'simportant to look at all aspects of the dish.So grilled chicken does go really wellwith white wine,but as soon as you put a red sauce on it lik","cbCaiphkZp9GRUqD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiphkZp9GRUqD","pdf",64229742,19,"English","# Intro\n## Wine and food pairing: An
