Wine can be an intimidatingly subject. There are so many choices between varietals, price and cultural expectations. People that think they are knowledgeable should consult the numerous media sources about how people can be fooled by their own ego. This America’s Test Kitchen podcast link is an example of such complexity (about 17 minutes in).
Join me in reading about food and wine. This is the reading list for the Left Coast Cellars culinary book club. We have been meeting since 2018 to discuss food related topics, share food we have made related to the subject and drink wine.
