My friends and family like to ask me for advice in matching food and wine. Or, at least I used to think they did. Lately, I think it’s more about trying to stump me. Or just seeing how many terrible expressions I can make while trying to figure out why in the world someone would want to eat lima beans, much less pair them with wine!The latest test came from my husband, who thought it would be fun to see if I could suggest good wines to accompany a variety of junk foods. Although such matches are generally not a high priority for me, it was fun to think about. And it reminded me that it was (and is) by experimenting with food and wine combinations that I have learned so much about wine.
So, I thought I’d provide some suggestions on junk food and wine pairings.
