Produktbeschreibung

A Taste of Merlot - Culinary Delights for Wine Lovers. Perfect Pairings to Elevate Your Merlot Experience. Understanding food and wine pairing is a Wine Lover's Dream. In this book Merlot meets Culinary Delights. We reveal simple key factors worth knowing to match the distinctive wine styles to different cuisines. The book also offers ten delicious recipes that dance perfect with the sophisticated flavors of Merlot. Each pairing highlights the unique characteristics of the wine.

Merlot is known for its soft texture and easy, fruit-forward character. The grape produces some of the most expensive wines in the world and plays an important role in blends, especially with Cabernet Sauvignon in Bordeaux, where its friendly, fruity flavor counterbalances Cabernet's more obvious tannins and structure. The grape's versatility, its tannin structure and resilient flavors make it a perfect accompaniment to a wide range of dishes.

A Taste of Merlot is illustrated with beautiful and inspiring pictures, also for each recipe. Although wine can be complicated, the text is easy to read so that the subject wine - food - and recipes, and why the components fit perfectly together, becomes understandable. Well read, and cheers.
