I asked Brad Lewis, our Director of Fine Wines, his thoughts on the Irish food question. It's funny how people just give you that look sometimes...anyway, once I told him what Paul had suggested, he agreed to think about it and get back with me.

Brad came up with two more (specifice) suggestions: Yangarra Shiraz and Longboat Sauvignon Blanc. Both "down-under" wines.

Any favorite foods you just can't figure out a wine pairing for? Or maybe there are some we shouldn't find wine to match--perhaps looking at the food culture/history of a particular region, especially where wine isn't a large part of the culture, we'd find that the food really isn't suited to wine, but is suited to another drink of the area (beer, for example).
