Big Macs & Burgundy: Wine Pairings for the Real World by Vanessa Price

5.0

This book is such fun! The author is an accomplished wine industry pro/sommelier with an unpretentious, snappy writing style. In addition to a very solid and accessible “wine 101” intro section about tasting and characteristics, the book is full of whimsical illustrations for unexpected wine pairings (including the title one) - there is even a whole section on recommended pairings for Trader Joe’s foods! I am eager to try a Shack Burger with Australian Shiraz, PB&J with Lambrusco Amabile, mozzarella sticks with Austrian Zweigelt, and many more. (Even my wine snob boyfriend approved when I showed it to him - apparently it’s been favorably mentioned on the super nerdy online wine forums
