Product Description

Customer Response

The book itself is awesome
This is an awesome book! But beware I received the older copy of this book not the one pictured. Not sure if there is a difference in the two books, but this book isn't what I received.

Fabulous for the kitchen, throwing parties or going out
Love this book, already own a personal copy and bought this one as a gift. Great companion if you are interested in pairing or if you are a chef and need help from the kitchen to the glasses on the table. If you know wine or know food and want to compliment them, this is the tool for you. It's fun, easy to navigate and informative.

Wonderfully Helpful!
I love this book! I received this as a gift a few years ago when I first started to venture into the world of food and wine pairing; years later I still use this book as a reference now and then. I have even brought it out for friends to use when they mention a dillema about what beverages to serve or consume with dinner. It is easy to use, goes beyond wine to include other beverages, and is easy to use. Great reference!

Book for Great Pairings
This reference gives the user a roadmap for great pairings for food. When in doubt as to what to serve, this is the book for you!

Can't Judge a Book by It's Cover
I originally purchased this book in Kindle format, which was not a good format for this type of book. The book is very easy to use and informational for creating wonderful wine and food pairings. You can find the best wine pairings for a particular food OR, if you have a favorite wine and want to prepare the food to support the wine, it gives you great food suggestions. UNFORTUNATELY, less than a month after I purchased this book, the binding broke and separated from the pages of the book. Amazon replaced, but the second one is the same. I don't bend my covers back so I'm not sure why the binding failed. Publisher needs to bind the book correctly. Would be better as spiral bound.
