A first visit to Catelli’s is but the first of many reviews to show up on a new blog/site that Lisa Yee & I are co-authoring.  Going off a love of food & wine we decided to show how easy it is to pair wine with different food.

Tasti-Pairings is the work of joy of Lisa Yee and Patrick Havens.  Living in the Wine Country, we came to love drinking great wine and finding food pairings that just went well together.  Both are used to making both simple and complex foods for all occasions.  We look forward to sharing some of the knowledge we have to you, the reader.

What started as a simple task has got the two focused on providing a series of articles detailing different restaurants (different styles of food) and the wines both available and also able to be brought in for a “minor” corkage fee.  One thing that has mind was that many places sometimes DON’T have the perfect wine to go with their own food.  So its good to know what will work with what and be able to adjust accordingly.  It’s also good to know how to make choices depending on what is available.  The wine and food pairing reviews will only be one part of the “lesson.” There are a few pages just on some things to keep in mind.  Sometimes when looking at a wine list of unknown wines and a menu that isn’t familiar, you will need to make a combination and do that experiment yourself.  What we hope  to provide is a background and also a comparison you will value for future pairings.  We will do our best to go off the wine lists at each restaurant and provide you an alternate wine pairing ahead of time should you want to bring your own wine.

So visit, look around and tell us what you think.
