How To Talk About Wine Without Being Annoying

from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons

Ordering wine and learning how to pair it with meals and summer produce can be intimidating – but it doesn’t have to be! We talked to a chef, master sommelier and a food writer to learn how to pair what wine with what food, and how to do it in the least pretentious way possible. Today’s panel: Maggie Hennessy, WBEZ contributor and food writer; Paul Virant, owner Gaijin, Vistro Prime and Petite Vie; Martin Beally, master sommelier, director of wine, beverage and ops integration at Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurants.
