I tried wines with French and Mexican food, looked for wines to pair with Cajon and Creole, and researched ways to pair wine with popcorn and other snacks. Friends and businesses kept bugging me to write this book after seeing my extensive notes and I finally got around to it after all of these years. I trust that this book will be as helpful to you in the real world as it has been for me.
