One of the most fun aspects of the wine biz is working with chefs on wine pairing menus. Some chefs are so confident in their ability to make a pairing, they don’t even taste the wines: they work off tasting notes and suggestions. But others, like Chef Royce Mori of The Red Crane in Cupertino, are meticulous in their pairings, obsessing over every detail. There is nothing quite like that perfect matchup: it’s like Bogey and Hepburn or Lombard and Gable, chemically exquisite and powerfully memorable. To see what I mean, check out the wine pairing dinner The Red Crane is holding with Poetic Cellars on Sept 21, 7pm, (408) 725-1990. Each dish works hand in hand with the wine, like a match made in heaven.
