Food & Wine 12

Natalie MacLean is a productive wine writer who also has an active life on the internet. She has just launched a new wine and food matching “widget” for social media.

What does this mean?

Well, it’s a small piece of code that one can use if one has a blog or a web page. By putting the code on one’s page, one gets a little frame on the page with a food and wine matching tool to help you match the best wine with food.

You can discover many things with the widget, sometimes quite amusing. For example, that if you’re serving baguette the perfect match is Monbazillac (a sweet white wine from near Bergerac) or Merlot. And if you want to finish a bottle of Bandol, you could serve grilled vegetables.

Try it yourself.
