Nat Decants Your Best Wine Choice

Nat Decants, online home of Natalie MacLean, expert sommelier, now offers a widget that will help you to chose the very best wine or beverage to compliment your meal.
For example, I chose…
“Mushrooms: Chanterelle” and the Wine & Food Matcher widget gave me, “Other drinks: Tea:Assam, Vodka” and “Red Wine: Barbera, Pinot Noir Old World/Burgundy, Shiraz” and “White Wine: Chardonnay: New World (Full-Bodied, Fruity).
Then, I’m given more options – I can click to find a list of wines available to match the dish or find more recipes with complimentary ingredients.
If you really like the Matcher Widget and you want to have easier access to it or you want to share it with your friends, you can post your own copy of it on your desktop, your web site, or your favorite social networking site, like MySpace or Facebook.
I think that this is a great idea, although I’m more of a beer girl, than a wine girl. I wonder which beer goes best with Chanterelles?

I read Natalie’s book, Red, White & Drunk all over which talked about her discovery of wine in addition to some food/wine pairings.
She makes it all so simple, and unpretentious. Fun, too.
To me the best one is the one that you love!
Thanks so much for posting this Michelle! I’m delighted that you like the widget. And hey, if you’re a beer girl, tell me which beer(s) you think would go best with chanterelles and I’ll add those pairings to the matcher
I hope you’ll consider posting the narrow version of the matcher in your right-hand column … I think it would be a useful tool for your site visitors who could keep coming back to check for pairings when they’re planning dinners and parties.
Take care,
Natalie
