Do you guys drink wine with your meals? I have to admit that I usually don’t have wine until the evenings after the kids are in bed. I’ve never really bothered to figure out what goes with what, and my folks never served wine, so it’s just not something I know how to do. But I’d like to. I guess if I ever get around to throwing an actual dinner party, I will make the effort to put it all together with the right wines for the courses. I am actually kind of proud of myself for moving out of my white zinfandel comfort zone in the past half-year. There are some really nice wines out there, yes, even at Wal-Mart and even at less than $10 bucks a bottle if you can let your tongue do the tasting instead of your “palate”.
In the meantime, since studying wine is not on my official agenda, I can cheat. I read Rachel Ray’s mag, and in the back of every issue, she suggests wines to go with the recipes. That works for me, for now. Only most of them aren’t available at Wal-Mart, nor are they under ten bucks. Also, Boone’s Farm still burns my tongue. Just sayin’
