Editorial Review:
Product DescriptionWinner of the prestigious Julia Child Cookbook Award, this beautiful cookbook is easy to follow with each chapter dedicated to a particular type of wine. The Vintner s Table will guide you in the preparation of memorable meals that are made that way by the perfect matching of foods and wine using simple and fresh ingredients.

I found the book somewhat disappointing because the author only wrote
about the wine varietals made at winery she worked. It was incomplete from a world of wine varietals view. For instance there is no discussion on classic varietals from Italy, Southern France and Spain like Sangiovese, Syrah, Grenache or Tempranillo.
I found it very limited in scope but her premise good.

Mary Evely's "The Vintner's Table Cookbook" has opened up an entirely new approach for pairing wines with food. Her color-coordinated Taste Wheel and the companion six wine profiles make menu planning a pleasure for even the most unprofessional home chefs. Having unwittingly chosen one of the more complicated menus for my first
adventure with this book, "Rack of Lamb with Shallot Marmalade and Cabernet Sauce", I was delighted with a "winner"! Fred Bahl, Waikoloa, Hawaii
Rating: - Lots of recipes to savor!
This book is pretty and is full of easy to follow delicious recipes. I highly recommend it...and it is not necessary to be a lover of wine to appreciate all this book has to offer.
Rating: - Great food/wine pairing
This is a great cookbook for food & wine pairing. Explains why they do or do not go together and how to change a recipe so it will pair well w/ a particular varietal. Thorough info. re wine tasting attributes. The best winery chef!
