[AD] Thursday Favourite: DrinKuaidi

drink1
The art of food and wine pairing go far beyond matching the colors of your meat to that of your vin. But my dear discerning reader, you already knew that.

 

Pairing is not an exact science, it is a refined craft whose ultimate success resides in the palate of the taster.

 

This ancient art form of discernment, honed over the years by expert sommeliers and gourmet chefs salivating their ways through countless sips and bites, is now finally privy to the common folk.

Here is where your quest ends.

 

食物和葡萄酒搭配的艺术远远超出了将肉的颜色与酒的颜色相匹配。但是我亲爱的有洞察力的读者,你早已了解这些。

 

搭配不是一门精确的科学,它是一门精致的工艺,最终的成功在于品尝者的味觉。

 

这种古老的鉴别力艺术形式,多年来由专业的侍酒师和美食大厨,通过无数次的啜饮和小咬来磨练,现在家喻户晓。

The pairing experts at DrinKuaidi have done much of the scientific enquiry, so you may comfortably execute this art form at your dinner table with éclat.

Without further ado, here goes the 3 basic tenets of wine pairings.

DrinKuaidi 的搭配专家进行了大量的科学研究,因此您可以轻松地表现这种艺术形式,让您的餐桌光彩照人。

毫不疑迟,以下是葡萄酒搭配的三个基本原则

Complement rather than contrast

Consider the main protagonist of your dish, and pick a wine that complements its flavor profile. Usually, it’s the protein, sometimes it’s the sauce or spice. Contrasting is not a crime, but venture at your own risk.

补充而不是对比

考虑一下你的菜的主角,选择一种与它风味相得益彰的葡萄酒。通常是蛋白质,有时是酱汁或香料。对比不是犯罪,但是风险自负。

A balancing act

The taste of the wine neither overpowers nor underwhelms the taste of the food. Consider weight, acidity, sweetness, boldness of flavors, and strive for balance. Each bite should invite a sip, and each sip – the next bite, like a perfectly orchestrated duet.

平衡点

葡萄酒的味道既不能压倒食物的味道,也不能减弱食物的味道。考虑到重量、酸度、甜味、口味鲜明,力求平衡。每咬一小口都应啜一小口,每啜一小口就咬一小口,就像完美的二重唱。

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

Aristotle was surely referring to food & wine. Find a pairing where the combination tastes far better than either consumed alone, et voila, that’s a match made in heaven.

整体大于局部之和

亚里士多德必定提及到食物和葡萄酒。找到一种搭配,这种搭配的味道比单独食用要好得多,瞧,那是天作之合。
