Wine Pairing for the People

The wine world often says food and wine that grow together, go together, and that spicy, tangy, salty, and sweet flavours are a challenge to pair. But what about foods from regions where wine grapes aren't prevalent? What about global cuisines - many of which are outside of Europe - that celebrate heat and tang? Don't these traditional foods deserve the perfect wine pairing? Cha McCoy, Certified Sommelier and owner of The Communion wine boutique, knows that good foods and wines go together and that the cuisines of Africa, Asia, and the Americas are just as worthy of great pours. In this guidebook, Cha McCoy pairs wines with foods from Africa, Asia, and beyond, blending practical information with a side of aspirational armchair travel.
