dry red with your grilled salmon
man I can't taste with your taste buds, but most red wine don't go well with fish. It's not an acquired taste, you know it the first time you pair a good wine with meat. Or a good champagne with smoked salmon. It's like putting salt on food for the first time of your life, it's another level of deliciousness. Of course you can drink whatever liquid with whatever food and like it. But it's not pure snobbery, it's a real thing.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y ago> It's like putting salt on food for the first time of your life, it's another level of deliciousness. Baby humans dislike salt. Most young children dislike salt. The "deliciousness" is mostly an acquired taste, though there may be some physiological-need-driven component to it under unusual circumstances.
- ska 4y agoIsn’t this because children don’t taste bitter the same way adults do? Most of what salt does for us is reduce the perception of bitter, iirc (for taste, obviously it does other things). That would suggest it is physiological , not acquired.
- dllthomas 4y agoThe guidance to prefer white wine with fish isn't a hard and fast rule, but a general suggestion if you don't know enough to make a more considered choice. Grilled salmon in particular has a richness and smokiness that pairs very well with certain reds.
