Hi New_chef_2002, and welcome to the Wine Board. This is as good a place as any to start. Go to the Wine/Food Affinities thread and use the "Go" feature above and on the right side of each thread to go back as far as you want, including to the start of the Board.

If that fails you, you might try www.wineanswers.com . If you go to their wine sites there are many links to sites involving food. There is very little about Australian wine that is different from American wine involving food matches. Indeed most of the wines from Oz are made in the American style.

This is something that is starting to bother me. This is not directed at you newchef2002. I have knowticed a lot of people from hospitality/culinary programs coming here asking about wine/food stuff. What's bugging me is why don't these schools teach their students about wine before they give them an assignment that requires a reasonable knowledge of wine? That would be like telling me to rebuild an engine when you only taught me how to change spark plugs.

It just don't make a danged bit of sense. These schools want these students to do work that they aren't capable of doing because the school hasn't properly prepared them for. These people are paying for an education but aren't receiving their full money's worth. This is a just a personal beef that i've knowticed. Again, this isn't directed at you Newchef. This is a good place to learn, though.
