Perfect Pairings by Evan Goldstein
Perfect Pairings combines in-depth explorations of twelve grape varietals, sparkling
wines, and dessert wines with guidance about foods that enhance the wide range of styles for each varietal.
Whether the Chardonnay is earthy and flinty; rich, buttery, and oak-infused; fruity and tropical; or aged and
mature, Goldstein explains how to match it with dishes that will make the wine sing. His clear, educational,
and entertaining approach towards intimidating gastronomical questions provides information for
all readers, professional and amateur alike.
Taste Buds and Molecules by Francois Chartier
This award-winning book, now available for the first time in English in the U.S., presents a
cutting-edge approach to food and wine pairing. Sommelier Francois Chartier has spent the better part of two
decades collaborating with top scientists and chefs to map out the aromatic molecules that give foods and
wines their flavor. Armed with the results of his extensive research, Chartier has been able to identify why
certain foods and wines work well together at a molecular level. In this book, he has gathered his findings
into a simple set of principles that explain how to create ideal harmonies in food and wine pairings.
