Wine Never Goes Alone

Indeed, nothing is more natural than talking about wine and culinary relationships, bonds, or affinities. The concept of good wine and food pairing demonstrates that wine, by nature, refuses solitude. Even when we enjoy a glass alone, we are accompanied by our own internal dialogue, music, or silence. Wine is, fundamentally, social. Find the best options to enjoy on any occasion available in our online store.

Marriage and Wine: A Historical Journey

Weddings have always been accompanied by wine throughout history. We find examples from the famous Wedding at Cana to epic tragedies on Mount Olympus. It is also evident in the realistic descriptions of literature by Flaubert and Dickens. Where there's a party, there's wine, and where there's wine, there's food.

However, the French term mariage literally means marriage. From this stems the modern concept of gastronomic pairing. This is a recent trend that acquired its modern form at the beginning of the 20th century thanks to European culinary sophistication.

Wine and Food Pairing: Modern Harmony

The responsibility for this evolution falls on historical figures such as Marie-Antoine Carême and Auguste Escoffier. They codified the foundations of haute cuisine. Thanks to their legacy, wine culture joined culinary arts under strict principles of complementarity and harmony of flavors.

A modern sommelier acts as a matchmaker of flavors. Their goal is to ensure that the wine's acidity cuts through the dish's fat. They also seek for the fruity notes to temper the spicy touches of the food. It is a constant search for completeness, as Alain de Botton defines it in his essays on love.
