A Question of Priorities

[Hal]

I am curious how some among us go about doing meals. Do you choose a wine after you have planned the menu, or do you plan the menu after deciding which wine to drink?

Personally, I usually decide on what will be for dinner for just the two of us, and then choose a wine from my rack or fridge that I want to drink with dinner. Very occasionally I have a special bottle of wine that I want to serve, most likely to share with friends, and plan a dinner around it.
