In Vino Pairing Veritas (Wine & Food Pairing) #1: Grilled Sole with Chianti or Blancs de Blancs?

 

In this new wine pairing section of the IMBA wine cellar management we will discuss wine & food pairing…

An important topic indeed, right up the butler alley.

Without further ado: watch this movie clip and notice what wine the villain chooses (and how JB glances at him…)

So, what JB does really think about the pairing of Chianti (that only exists in red) with Grilled Dover Sole Fish? (answer in the clip)

If you agree with JB and prefers Blanc de Blancs (in the movie JB has selected a 1955 Comtes de Champagne from Taittinger)

For a lot of people wine and food pairing may seem enigmatic, the butler will be the one who to crack that case…
