Adam takes your host, an admitted wine and cheese novice, on a journey through the basics of choosing a wine and pairing that wine with food and cheese. He teaches me about great wines at various price points, choosing a wine as a host gift, the temperature at which wine should be served and the very basics of pairing wines with cheese. We talk about various apps that help with wine selection.
