Plt;bPgt;Choose the right bottle for any occasion, whether youP#39;re out to eat or staying in, by learning to think like a sommelierP#8212;from the world-renowned wine expert and author of Plt;iPgt;Wine SimplePlt;/iPgt;Plt;/bPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Sommelier Aldo Sohm knows that the right wine can make or break a meal. As the wine director of New YorkP#8217;s three-Michelin-starred restaurant Le Bernardin, he draws on his decades of experience to help diners navigate a carefully curated wine list and select the perfect bottle to accompany their food.

Aldo distills his vast database of expert knowledge into a fun and useful guide that you can turn to at any time. Most wine pairing books simply list which wines to pair with which foods, but Plt;iPgt;Wine Simple: Perfect PairingsPlt;/iPgt; goes a step further, teaching you how to Plt;iPgt;think like a sommelierPlt;/iPgt; and create the pairings yourself. YouP#8217;ll learn basic information about the wines youP#8217;ll be pairing, followed by ways to think about the elements of what you eat; together, these tools form an ingenious wine-pairing method created by Aldo. Plenty of visual guides, cheat-sheets, and hand-holding will guide you along the way.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;With the tools Aldo provides, youP#39;ll learn how to find the perfect pairing for everything from Thai red curry (dry Riesling) to a burger with fries and ketchup (cabernet franc). Whether youP#8217;re new to wine pairing or want to level up your knowledge, Plt;iPgt;Perfect PairingsPlt;/iPgt; will become your go-to guide for deciding what to drink with your meal.
