Take an ordinary wine, such as merlot, and you pair it with a homey dish like spaghetti bolognese, the flavors of the merlot explode in your mouth. Both components enhance and complement each other. Its the interaction between the two that dance upon my palette that makes me crazy for wine.

I have enthusiastically been lucky enough to visit Chile, Argentina, France, Italy and a host of US wine regions, all for the love of wine and how it has captured the American imagination and changed the look of dinner tables in every nook and cranny of the country. It’s the most democratic of beverages, accessible to all, ever changing, new with every vintage. It has arrived.

What gets me most enthusiastic about wine?

Two things really, one is that my husband now likes wine – hurray, it was absolutely no fun drinking by myself and makes traveling to Europe so much more enjoyable. He is also become more discerning so while we are not crazy he’s moved beyond 2 Buck Chuck as being perfectly acceptable for all occasions – thanks goodness!

Two – I love the nuances, and the mysteries – I’d never consider myself a wine expert; I love tasting wine side by side and discovering even the same grape can have a love/hate relationship with a wine maker and learning through tasting and sniffing how they emphasize certain features in the wine. I’ve really come to appreciate the importance of pairing and how that can either enhance a meal or cause a war on the taste buds as each complete for total domination.
