PERFECT PAIRINGS - EPISODE 10 - MYTH: Bordeaux Goes With Everything

[kirlinks]

Mr. Ripert is making a good point in subjective tasting, but the sommelier, when working, doesn't have the opportunity to know the visitor's subjective taste. So one has to go with what he/she knows for a fact (for example the wines structure, length and acidity, these are not subjective opinions!) and what he/she has decided to pair with the food after tasting. This is why Mr. Sohm was talking about harmony. It either is there or it isn't, and the sommelier's job is to find it out.
