There is no single, perfect wine to go with a given food. Even if there were, it would be nowhere to be found within 30 miles of my kitchen! That's where Quel Vin Servir comes in. This unpretentious little volume lists over 1,000 French dishes and suggests three to ten different wines that can be served with them. No analysis, no proselytizing -- no text, really -- just an alphabetical guide to the different foods and the list of wine suggestions underneath.
I have a number of books on "marrying" wine and food, as the French put it, but this is the one that gets pulled out of the bookshelf every weekend.
