The perfect pairing can be transformative: The wine makes the food taste better, the food makes the wine taste better, and the synergy between the two takes your meal to a whole new dimension. In Wine Simple: Perfect Pairings, Aldo Sohm, with Christine Muhlke, provides an easy-to-use handbook for navigating the complex world of wine and how to pair it with food. Drawing on years of experience in the industry and as wine director at three-Michelin-starred Le Bernardin, Aldo distills his vast database of knowledge into a fun and useful guide that goes beyond general suggestions for what goes with what, instead teaching you how to think like a sommelier. While pairing wines is anything but formulaic, Aldo has developed an ingenious method that will help you better understand how wine and food can interact and open a new world of possibilities. Wine Simple: Perfect Pairings is organized into chapters that can be referenced at any time, or used chronologically to build upon each other:   • The Wine How to Taste:
