Strat's Place - Daniel Rogov - In The French Way Food and Wine Matches

Following is a list of one hundred of my favorite French dishes and of the wines that I most often choose to accompany them. As will be immediately apparent, I have chosen to stay primarily with French wines, the few exceptions being more of personal taste than absolute dictates. Not everyone will agree with all of my wine pairings and that is fair enough, for these are my personal favorites and not need be those of everyone. As I always insist, the wine that best matches any dish is the one you think best matches it.

Readers wanting anywhere from one to five of the recipes for the dishes listed need only post a message on The Forum or send me an email to drogov@cheerful.com
