Just a quick note about a new service I was turned on to last week. I was at my local grocery store and bought several bottles of wine. On each was an advertisement for a service called eWine Match. As stated on the marketing piece:

1. Make your food choice
2. Using your cell phone text your selection to 411511
3. In moments you’ll receive a text message providing the perfect wine to enjoy with your food!

I tried it a couple of times (responses came within 30 seconds) and here are my results:

Food choice of Tuna - received reply message stating the following - Your matches…
Beringer Founder’s Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Matua Sauvignon Blanc
the Little Penguin Pinot Noir

Food choice of Kielbasa - received reply message - Your matches…
Rosemount Diamond Chardonnay
Beringer Founder’s Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Chateau St. Jean Merlot

Food choice of beef fajitas - Your matches…
Beringer Founder’s Estate Zinfandel
Matua Sauvignon Blanc
Rosemount Diamond Chardonnay

Interesting that there was a Beringer in every reponse. They also have a website at ewinematch but it doesn’t contain anything except for a privacy policy and terms of service.

Seems like a decent resource for a quick wine pairing whether in the store or restaurant. Even if you’re a red wine snob like me you’ll appreciate that it gives both red and white recommendations.
