About last night...

Don't get your hopes up, this isn't a sordid tale.
There are few things I enjoy more than wine and good food. This being said, I never reeally understood the wine and food pairing thing until last night. Normally I just drink whatever wine is around with whatever food I have around, basically that means I drink red wine with just about everything.
Last night, Pete and I went to the Fetzer Appetizer Challenge, local chefs had to make appetizers that would match Fetzer's Gewurztraminer. I don't enjoy Gewurztraminer, it's very sweet and fruity and from the tasting menu it apparently matches well with seafood. I'm not a seafood lover either. So I'm wandering around with my least favourite wine and eating seafood and something shocking happens. Pete and I are directed to one station where the dish is salmon prepared three ways. Salmon is my all time least favourite food, but I sure did enjoy the salmon with the Gewurztraminer. I'm not even sure what it was but I really noticed how the taste of the food and the wine changed the flavour. This event had me enjoying both salmon and Gewurtraminer, my mom would be shocked.
I've always wanted to be a food critic, you get to eat fancy expensive food and judge it. That's what last night was like, good times...
