About this listen

Essential wine pairings for everything from popcorn to veggie burgers to General Tso’s chicken, based on the wildly popular Grub Street column.

Sancerre and Cheetos go together like milk and cookies. The science behind this unholy alliance is as elemental as acid, fat, salt, and minerals. Wine pro Vanessa Price explains how to create your own pairings while proving you don’t necessarily need fancy foods to unlock the joys of wine. Building upon the outsize success of her weekly column in Grub Street, Price offers delightfully bold wine and food pairings alongside hilarious tales from her own unlikely journey as a Kentucky girl making it in the Big Apple and in the wine business. Using language everyone can understand, she reveals why each dynamic duo is a match made in heaven, serving up memorable takeaways that will help you navigate any wine list or local bottle shop.

Bubbling with personality, Big Macs & Burgundy will open your mind to the entirely fun and entirely accessible wine pairings out there waiting to be discovered - and make you do a few spit-takes along the way.

This audiobook includes a PDF wine guide.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Loved it, thank you. Plenty of info in here with actual food not just junk food haha - but KFC and Champagne 🍾 I’m pretty sure Dave Grohl hits that on his flight back from Australia and I will definitely try it.

One pairing I’ve found is Sancerre Rose and salted dark chocolate. Not sure if they should go together but they absolutely did when I tried them :) recommend.

What in the United States Of America are some of these snacks?
