Synopsis

Essential wine pairings for everything from popcorn to veggie burgers to General Tso’s Chicken, based on the wildly popular Grub Street column
 
Sancerre and Cheetos go together like milk and cookies. The science behind this unholy alliance is as elemental as acid, fat, salt, and minerals. Wine pro Vanessa Price explains how to create your own pairings while proving you don’t necessarily need fancy foods to unlock the joys of wine. Building upon the outsize success of her weekly column in Grub Street, Price offers delightfully bold wine and food pairings alongside hilarious tales from her own unlikely journey as a Kentucky girl making it in the Big Apple and in the wine business. Using language everyone can understand, she reveals why each dynamic duo is a match made in heaven, serving up memorable takeaways that will help you navigate any wine list or local bottle shop. Bubbling with personality, Big Macs & Burgundy will open your mind to the entirely fun and entirely accessible wine pairings out there waiting to be discovered—and make you do a few spit-takes along the way.

This audiobook includes a PDF wine guide.

Goodreads review by Pattie on October 31, 2020

My late husband enjoyed his wine. Me? I’m not a fan. Give me a tall glass of water, a steaming cup of coffee, or a dirty martini and I’ll be just fine. So when I was given a copy of Burgundy & Big Macs, Wine Pairings for the Real World, from Abrams, I felt at a complete loss. How could someone who d......more

Siendo realistas, viviendo donde vivimos no creo que podamos lograr más de 10 maridajes recomendados pero definitivamente este libro cambió la forma en la que veo los vinos. Mi misión en la vida es conseguir un Sancerre Blanc y comer Cheetos mientras lo bebemos. 5/5......more
