5. Don’t assume you know what your favorite type of wine tastes like
- Turns out, it's not all about the more you know... “The more you know about wine, the less you know,” says Twomey. You might think your Pinot noir tastes weird, and some might even argue with their server or bartender about it (and subsequently make a tool of themselves), but it tastes different because of the terroir. You can plant the same grape in California and South Africa and British Columbia and it’s going to taste differently because of the soil, as well as the climate, and the way the winery harvests and peels the grapes once they’re ready to be made into wine.
- Good wine and good food always go together, so arbitrary rules like “steak can only be enjoyed with red” and “fish should only be had with white” actually make no sense. “There are fantastic red wines that I’d drink with fish and white wines that work well with red meat,” says Marci at B&B, where a rich Chardonnay is a favorite pairing with some of their burgers. And if you find the right red, you can even pair it with sushi.
