You type in whats in your fridge, and it spits out a list of recipes for dishes you can make with those ingredients.

Very old school train of thought thats been reletively forgotten over the last 8-10 years.

Reds have been increasingly been served with fish/shellfish at the most talked about tables the world over, and this experimentation in the top kitchens, and amongst experimental chefs/wine makers has translated into regular consumers being more adventuresome when it comes to their wine pairings.

Some easy/less risque pairings could include:

_ medium bodied merlots, on the lighter end of the tanin scale, served alongside fattier/meatier seafood such as monkfish (braised), marlin (spicy marinade/ grilled or whole roasted loin), mackeral (pan seared finished in the over with a tart vinaigrette)

_ a sharp chardonnay served with a roasted pork loin, perhaps stuffed with caramelized fennel and orange

_pinot gris served alongside a good ol fashioned cajun DEEPFRIED WHOLE TURKEY!

If you want to get the most out of your wine pairing experiences, ditch the 70's mindset, and think contrasting flavours. Try employing ethnic influences; street food, rural farm fair, to dictate how you want to work such contrast. For example in Provence, lavender and fennel where often used with pork, quail and such, so in turn the similair flavour profiles where attractive when selecting a wine, leading towards perhaps a bourdeaux or even a reisling.

Have fun_

Spicy prawn linguini is always a fave, adding mussels and chorizo sausage is a classic stylee. Throw it some fresh itallan flat leaf parsley in the end, served with some crusty ass bread, and a zinfandel, and BOOYAH!

enjoy yo'self though, dont stress on the food, and get that special person involved in the cooking - things get interesting quite fast. Hell it may get all "9 1/2 weeks" even!!
