As the wine director of New York's three-Michelin-starred restaurant Le Bernardin, he draws on his decades of experience to help diners navigate a carefully curated wine list and select the perfect bottle to accompany their food. The perfect pairing can be transformative- The wine makes the food taste better, the food makes the wine taste better, and the synergy between the two takes your meal to a whole new dimension. If you're not a professional, however, understanding how to pair food and wine can be daunting. Enter Perfect Pairings.\n\nWhether you're scanning a restaurant's giant wine list or picking up a bottle for a dinner party, Perfect Pairings teaches you how to choose the right wine for the moment.
