We've been on a bit of a chart kick this week. What's not to love? Anytime we can look to a handy infographic to tell us what we'd otherwise spend a few minutes googling is to us a far better use of time, no? This wine chart is one such infographic. It's not the be-all-end-all of wine and food pairings (and serious aficionados will want to nitpick, and that's fine) but it is a good starting point.
The color coded paths connect eleven types of food with eight styles of wine — a good thing to note before you walk into your local wine store to pick up a bottle for tonight's dinner. The chart is made by Wine Folly and available as a 13" x 19" poster ($19.95) or limited edition print ($95). You can also check out Wine Folly's accompanying 5 tips to perfect food and pairings.

LOVE!
This is genius - so helpful!
Please, don't use charts like these. They imply any stach can go with any wine. Think about tastes, rather than consulting charts. You know what wine tastes like, you know what your dish taste like. Work from there.
