If you're one of those, help is at hand. Not only can wines be ordered and delivered to your doorstep, but the site offers tutorials in the finer points of wine, wine reviews and just about anything else to do with the noble grape, all in plan and easy to understand English. Although their knowledge of wine is worldwide, they take special pride in matching wines to our somewhat complex Asian food. So the next time you're having guests over for satay or steamboat and are in a lurch over what wines to serve, give Dave or Ed a call. Like first-rate matchmakers, they know and understand the wine and the food, and will be happy to recommend a good fit.
Wine is here to stay.
We've gotten beyond the 'red with beef, white with fish' stage and many of us have developed clear preferences for one or the other. I want to start a modest collection at home for my own enjoyment, say a dozen or so bottles of basics, the little black dresses of wine, if you will. According to David and Edwin, you can do quite well in your price range. I like wine but even one or two glasses gives me anasty headache the next day. David says there are many theories but some new research seems to indicate that some people may really be allergic to something in wine.
