The Chemistry of Food and Wine

There are few things more satisfying to the senses than the perfect marriage of wine and food. Weather you are you looking for hedonistic gratification or simply an understanding of why food and wine taste so good together, this class will show you some basic chemical reactions that transpire when saliva breaks down food. It may not be very romantic, but it is the basis of which all-great food and wine matches are derived. The practical application will involve several small plates that are theoretically matched with 2 different wines so you can taste how different components of wine and food react together. By the end of class you will understand that the best wine for that steak may be a WHITE wine!
