Seminar: How Wine & Food Interact on the Palate in “The Truth About Wine & Cheese”
Friday, June 1, 6:30-8:00, $49
What makes a good cheese and wine pairing work? Is it based on the country of origin or producer of the milk - cow, goat or sheep? What about the textures, aromas and flavors? We will look at this in very simple terms in order to understand how wine interacts with the basic elements of taste: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami. 'M' will enlighten you with some "wine and food in balance basics" by demonstrating how the dominant flavors in food will change the taste of the wine. You will understand how sweet foods make wines taste stronger and more sour and sour/salty foods make wines taste milder or softer. This fun exercise, using three items that represent the key fundamentals of taste will show how principal flavors in food react with wine, setting the stage for our cheese and wine pairing demonstration. The end result is that you are going to discover the results of these reactions and conclude (1) which pairing(s) leaves the wine tasting as close to the winemaker's objective and (2) which pairing(s) did you enjoy the most. A tastebud trial of five French cheeses and six French wines!
