It's certainly a comprehensive compilation and definitely spans the gamut of wine varietals and styles from A to Z. Starting at Aglianico and ending at Zinfandel, the Guide describes the characteristic flavors of 42 red and white wines.
The description of each wine is written in clear language so that anyone can understand and learn, no matter what their level of wine appreciation and experience. The traits of each wine are clearly explained along with what food the wine will best complement, and what foods shouldn't be served with some wines – handy to know so an innocent social blunder is not accidentally made.
As well as the more popular wine varietals it covers off the lesser known white and red wine styles too. Several of the newest trending varietal wines coming onto the market are listed, such as Gruner Veltliner so the reader is well informed.
Speaking of Gruner Veltliner, according to the Guide this wine is a crisp and refreshing yet serious white wine. Hailing originally from Austria, where it is considered the nation's most important white grape, it has steadily grown in popularity in North America to become a mainstay on the shelves in wine shops. With its tell-tale notes of white pepper and a slight vegetal quality it actually complements two foods that are notorious for causing white wine to turn unpalatably sweet. What are these two difficult foods? Asparagus and artichokes.
Gruner Veltliner is not just for tricky foods – it pairs with just about any lighter fare, from seafood to poultry to complex salads. It even works with spicy foods, and can be a classic pairing with Asian dishes.
The information on Gruner Veltliner is just a snippet of the volumes of guidance in the Vintla Wine and Food Pairing Guide. The very handy thing is that the downloadable Guide comes in three formats: a pdf so it can be printed, in ePub format, and in mobi format so it can be uploaded onto android and Apple devices ready to be consulted on the spot in the liquor store, restaurant, or anywhere a decision on pairing food and wine together arises (or a quick cheat sheet is needed to sound clued-up!).
The A to Z of Wine and Food Pairing Guide is available only to purchasers of the Vintla Adjustable Wine Aerator from Amazon.com. Vintla offers a 20% discount code on its website, plus a bonus easy-twist foil cutter while stocks last.
