Need HELP

[mrdutton]

I use two books as references.

One is THE WINE AVENGER by Willie Gluckstern.
The book is published by Simon & Schuster, New York: www.SimonSays.com. You can also go to Willie's web site: www.wineavenger.com. He is very opinionated, expresses his points enthusiastically and tends to push riesling abit strongly. However, there is some very good wine/food matching advice in the book, some of it very traditional and time-honored.

Another is WINE WITH FOOD by Joanna Simon. This book is also published by Simon & Schuster, New York. More tradional than Gluckstern, this book gives a good run-down on the tradional matches along with the author's advice on "hard to match" foods. There is a good section on matching wines to various ethnic styles. In the back are two sections that come in handy: "Food to Wine" and "Wine to Food" sections have a number of good suggestions.

I also use the informed suggestions from the other members on this Wine Board and, of course, my own experience.
