We’re going back to our roots (working in the wine industry) and digging into the world of wine and food pairings!

We're chatting about the fundamental principles of pairing wine with food, both from a theoretical and a practical perspective. John shares his expertise as a certified Sommelier, explaining why certain wines enhance specific dishes and debunking common myths about wine pairings.

The episode covers classic pairings, as well as more nuanced combinations such as which wines work best and are a must-try. 

We also explore cheese and wine pairings, and the best beverages to enjoy with various types of cuisine, from sushi to tacos.

To close it out, we address some common pairing mistakes, emphasize that wine pairing doesn't need strict rules, and share some of our favorite personal wine and food pairing experiences.
