 Great Resource March 3, 2008
This book is a great resource. It is the only one I found that covers cocktails and other drinks...not just wine.
I wish, however, that it focused more on cocktails and other drinks and left out wines. There are so many other resources out there already covering wine.
I was sad to find that some of the food items I looked up only had wine pairing suggestions.
But, like I said above, it is a great resource and worth the purchase.
A Great Book February 1, 2008

Very well layed-out book with excellent content. They do have almost everything; even corned beef and also cabbage, but not corned beef and cabbage. How cool it is to match food and wine together. I found a site that gives additional help; check out www.matchmywine.com
Perfect Pleaser January 2, 2008

This book is excellent for all of your food pairing needs. Additionally, it includes pairing for more eccentric wines and is the perfect way to decide what to cook based on what you want to drink or vice versa. It is the perfect gift for anyone who loves to cook, loves to eat, and/or loves to drink.
It is a must for those who wish to take their enjoyment of wine and food to the next level, by creating the perfect food and wine pairing.
Additionally, it is a great joy to try various combinations as suggested and find your own personal favorite as well as see how the food can highlight the wine or the wine enhance the flavors of the food.
This book can help match even the most difficult of food and goes beyond the basics. This book goes way beyond reds with red meat and white with fish, and will in fact suggest pairings that are a surprise and a delight.
This book is a HIGH recommendation.

I bought this for my husband who is the cook in our family. In the past few years he has been expanding his knowledge of wines and especially loves pairing good wine with good food. He (who reads 2 books a year, maybe) read this from cover to cover in a few days. He loved every bit of it - the commentary, the reviews of restaurants, the wine and food education and everything in between. It was one of the best gifts I ever gave him. He even consulted it to make our dinner reservations on a trip to NYC. We were not disappointed (Veritas and Hearth in case you are wondering). This book is spectacular!

I am in the wine industry as well as a Wine lover (a bit of an understatement) I love this book so much! I constantly reference this book at work, at parties, and at my kitchen counter. I have bought it for friends, and am even considering having more than one copy for myself. I cannot say enough about my love for this book!
CHEERS and happy pairing.
