The resident sommelier (aka my husband) is a hard guy to shop for. I nailed his birthday gift with this book--beautiful enough for the coffee table, but never there because it must be within arm's reach. After a lifetime of pairing food with wine, my husband counts on this book for new ideas that work. If beer, spirits or even Coke are more your thing, you won't be left out.

At the expense of possibly sounding very snobbish, this book is an excellent resource for understanding the world of wine pairing. This is by no means a quick read but more so a reference book that you must pick and choose from.

For the novices, there are quite a few wines in here, which are not standard household wines, but don’t let that scare you. It has definitely made me want to explore more white wines, partly because of the type of food that it goes with and also because of people in my life who like it.

It's a nice reference book, especially for readers living in the US.

Great reference for food and beverage (not just wine) pairings.

The foremost authority on all things food and drink. So easy to read like a novel and incredibly functional for looking things up. Love it and would highly recommend to everyone!

A few months ago I went to visit a friend at one of my favorite local tasting rooms, I. Brand & Family. I was picking Erin's brain about what wines to pair with our Moroccan Thanksgiving feast. And she introduced me to this book: What to Drink with What You Eat by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page. Well, she introduced me to the app on her phone. But, since I don't have a smart phone, she told me about the book which I immediately went home and ordered.

This is a resource I've been dreaming about for years. I just didn't know it existed.

I've only had this book for about two months, but I grab it off the shelf with alarming regularity. You can look up by foods. When I looked up "Spinach", it lists possible pairings that include a red (Beaujolais), whites (no oak Chardonnay), and even a non-alcoholic option (lemonade, sparkling water with lemon).

You can also look up by grape varietals to get suggestions. Now I know that wine pairings aren't hard and fast rules...at least I don't think there are hard and fast rules. This book gives you a range of ideas from which you can read what might work well. And of the dozen or so pairings I've tried, each have been a homerun.

The Drink Bible. Don't leave your kitchen without it.

So, I checked this book out from my local library because it claims to be the definitive guide to pairing food with loads of different drinks, including tea! I am a tea drinker, I was excited to see a food pairing book that was about something other than just wine. Well, the title is a bit misleading, it is mostly about wine...every type of wine imaginable with little nods at other drinks.

The book is probably the best I have seen on the subject, and I really appreciate the nods to other drinks, I was just hoping for a little more variety. Sadly with the focus being on wine, it was no use to me since I do not drink.

It is a beautifully put together book and I certainly recommend giving it a read if you are looking for an immensely detailed book on pairing wine (and some other tasty sippables). I really enjoyed how it was divided into 'what to drink with what you eat' and 'what to eat with what you drink' it is a very useful resource. I just really wish it had more focus on other drinks.

I love this book - this is an excellent resource for anyone looking to dive deeper into wine pairing. The wine world is more about how wine works well with food instead of sticking with the wine you like. I cannot wait to create some of the pairing menus in this book. There is also an entire chapter dedicated to pairing the right beverage with what you are eating.

Anyway, this is a great reference, and it is for anyone who wants more out of their eating experiences.

Incredibly interesting reference book describing how to pair beverages with everything from filet minion to popcorn. Well-researched and full of fascinating facts, quotes, recipes, and ideas. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys great food and beverages.

an encyclopedia of what goes with what. The first part is organized by food, and the second by drink. This is a pretty great prep for dinner party planning

This had just the right balance of theory and suggestions. I feel like it gave me both a place to start trying new drink pairings, and also the know-how to branch out with my own ideas.
