To most, wine is a delicious mystery. We purchase it, uncork it, and
savor its taste and beauty. But there is so much more to true wine
appreciation. Many secrets are simply too good to keep bottled up.
Although there are no hard fast rules for matching wine to food,
observe some guidelines. Delicate dishes should be accompanied by
lighter more delicate wines. Full- avored foods should be matched
with fuller-bodied wines.
As a general rule, one should aim to ascend in  avor and quality of
wines served.
Any step back in quality will be noticed. If a  ne wine is tasted prior
to a lesser wine, many of the  ne wine’s subtle qualities may be
missed.
Selecting the right wine for the right occasion can sometimes
be a seemingly awkward or di cult task for the beginning wine
enthusiast. We would therefore like to present you with a few
suggestions which may provide a little more con dence and
enjoyment when choosing and serving your wines.
When selecting wines, keep an open mind and do not be afraid
to be adventurous. Do not view the subject of wine so seriously
it discourages you from learning and discovering for fear of
embarrassment if something is incorrect. Wine is best viewed as a
hobby and enjoyed.
When assembling your collection, try not to become obsessed with
“Vintages.” Although a chart can be a useful tool, generalizations
about a speci c year have led more than one collector to
disappointment. Often an “O Year” will provide a better value and
more drinking enjoyment.
The primary guideline to the subject of wine is your own palate. Do
not be afraid to make mistakes. Experiment, discover, but most of all,
enjoy yourself and your new product.
