WhattodrinkWhat to Drink with What you Eat
by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page

Finding wine recommendations and reviews online is a breeze these days, and in my opinion, blogs are primary destinations for such info. Specific wine pairings are another story. This book covers a huge amount of territory and looks into which drink might pair well with a wide range of foods. It doesn't limit itself to wine either as spirits and specific brands of beer are covered as well. One of my favorite features includes actual tasting menus from restaurants around the world and several explanations from well respected sommeliers. It even differentiates between what goes well with Domino's Pizza (which is sweeter than most) and regular pizza. Gonna have pepperoni? Try a Montepulciano. Sausage? Try a zinfandel. Any my favorite pairing...a Cabernet Franc with a peppers and onion pizza. Obviously these are just the most basic of examples as this book goes into great detail. Unless you are already an expert, I highly recommend this book.
