Description
A burgeoning interest in sweet wines of all types has created a new market of wine and food lovers interested in learning as much as they can about this under-appreciated category. In this new book from best-selling cookbook author James Peterson, more than 60 wines from around the world are presented - from the fabled Sauternes and Barsacs of France to the crisp Mosel Auslesen of Germany to the rich ports and sherries of Portugal and Spain. Peterson describes how each wine is made, how it should be served, and what it tastes like. In addition, 50 recipes for hors d'oeuvres, appetizers, entrees, and desserts are paired with the wines they most perfectly complement. The book features dozens of helpful sidebars on topics such as organizing a sweet wine tasting, decanting sweet wines, and how to read a German wine label. A wine vocabulary and a description of the most important grapes are also included.
