If that isn't confusing enough, Asian, Latin American, and Creole dishes might find their way onto the same table.

The quintessential resource for matching wine and food, this book includes 58 companion recipes developed by celebrated chef Joyce Goldstein that showcase each type of wine.Perfect Pairings combines in-depth explorations of twelve grape varietals, sparkling wines, and dessert wines with guidance about foods that enhance the wide range of styles for each varietal. Whether the Chardonnay is earthy and flinty; rich, buttery, and oak-infused; fruity and tropical; or aged and mature, Goldstein explains how to match it with dishes that will make the wine sing. His clear, educational, and entertaining approach towards intimidating gastronomical questions provides information for all readers, professional and amateur alike.* 16 full-color photos* Six seasonal and special occasion menus* Tips for enhancing food and wine experiences, both at home and in restaurants* Glossary of wine terminology* Overview of the world's primary wine-growing regions * More than 500 producers recommended for each style, ranging in price from everyday to splurge"--Publisher description.
