Wine is in Ruth's blood but cooking is her passion. A "hostess with the mostest", sharing her wine and food pairings with others brings her the most joy.
Here are my current favourite wine and food pairings.
Always remember that wine’s role is to compliment the food creating a beautiful harmony between the two, never a struggle. Enjoy!
