In Daring Pairings, the adventurous companion to the acclaimed Perfect Pairings, Master Sommelier Evan Goldstein shows how anyone can bring less-conventional grape varieties like albariño, grenache, grüner veltliner, malbec, and tempranillo to the table for spot-on pairings. He ventures into wine’s new frontiers, exploring the flavors and pairing potential of 36 distinctive grapes from around the world, including Argentina, Spain, Italy, Greece, and France. Goldstein offers advice on crafting unforgettable wine and food pairings, suggests wines for everyday and special occasions, and recommends producers and importers—while 36 chefs present recipes specially tailored to Goldstein’s wine selections (like Paul Bartolotta, Michelle Bernstein, and Charlie Trotter).
