Sommelier podcast on food & wine pairing

[Michael Horne]

Master Sommelier Geoff Kruth at the Guild of Sommeliers recently held a competitive event called the “Clash of the Sommeliers” at the Farmhouse Restaurant where he is the Wine Director.  In his Podcast, you’ll hear 3 of the Bay Area’s best Sommeliers share their wisdom on food & wine pairing, dispelling the myth that pairing wines with food requires magical skills.

Joining Geoff in this Podcast are:

• Desi Echavarrie of the French Laundry shares his thoughts on matching textures of wine & food and the “mirror match” technique.
• Sur Lucero of Napa’s Oenotri talks about the importance of putting the guests palate first, what he calls “people pairing.”
• Yoon Ha of San Francisco’s new avant garde restaurant Benu shares his simple approach of looking at the “spirit of the dish.”

It’s a fun half-hour with some thoughtful Sommeliers, have a listen.
