Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I've written many a story about wine and food pairing for Wine Enthusiast magazine, and one of the people I turn to again and again for expert tips is Natalie MacLean, my favorite north-of-the-border wine writer. Natalie knows her stuff: She's a certified sommelier who runs an award-winning Web site and free newsletter, she's funny (she's the author of Red, White and Drunk All Over: A Wine-Soaked Journey from Grape to Glass -- no wine snobbery in that title), and she's really polite (every time I interview her she sends a thank-you note!).
Now, Nat has a new food and wine pairing widget out that she's created from eight years of notes and pairings. You can pair by choosing a food or a wine first, which is nice (I've noticed that wine-centric people choose the wine first, and then the food, and food-centric people do the opposite).
Make sure you read Doug's evaluation of the widget at Wino Magazine. Apparently, Natalie has a really good sense of humor: the widget recommends kangaroo with his Mourvedre.
Try the widget after the jump.

Not only do I find the wine to go with what I have planned for dinner, but the choices give me the opportunity to change my mind and serve something that sounds even better than I had decided upon. A great, easy site to check out what wine to serve with a meal, or vice versa, what meal to serve with a wine.
