French Quarter Wine Fest starts
Posted in: Steve
If you love Wine and Food, then you’ll love the French Quarter Wine fest going on now unitl April 15th. More info at frenchquarterwinefest.com. But it got me thinking sometimes I think foodies are just a little too snotty about what wine goes with which food, but when it comes to the one about white wine and fish, there is now some hard scientific proof. Chefs and savvy diners have long instinctively paired fish with white wine, and now scientists know why. Apparently iron present in red wine (but less so in white) brings out seafood’s fishy aftertaste. Now if they can only come up with proof as to why I have to drink a wine I don’t like the taste of just because somebody said it goes with what I’m eating I’ll be at complete gastronomical peace.
