wrong choice?

[Menua]

curious: I'm not that experienced with wine - and certainly not with food/wine matching - but my money is on the food/wine combo accounting for you experience, if I understand you correctly. If I make a food/wine mismatch (nearly everytime I try to make a match [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/tongue.gif[/img] ) it unfailingly, no matter the food or what type of wine, brings out the burning alcohol sensation. I'm not sure what is meant by "tastes like beer", but when you said the alcohol/tart taste went away after some time it reminded me of similar food/wine escapades I'd made.
