My Annual Sit Down With Santiago Achával
Posted: 12:33 PM ET, 09/26/08

When it comes to agonizing over which wine to drink with whatever's on the dinner menu, I am as guilty as the next guy. I also spend some time thinking about what I might like to eat with a particular wine when I am tasting it. I'll bet you do too. Read more
