In the past, wine pairings were ruled by dictates like “red wine goes with red meat,” “white wine goes with white meat and fish” and “sweet wines with desserts.” But is there truly a right or wrong way to pair wine? What about pairing foods less traditionally thought of in a wine context, like street food or snacks? Can you pair wine with art, music or simply one’s mood?
In this episode, I sit down with Jermaine Stone to discuss these questions. Stone is the founder of Cru Luv Wine and the critically acclaimed podcast Wine and Hip Hop. He also stars in Street Somm, a new show by streaming service Tastemade. In each episode, which centers around a different city, Stone brings people of diverse backgrounds together on a culinary, wine-splashed journey.
Listen as Stone explains how his background in music led him to wine; how he breaks preconceived notions surrounding food and wine pairings; why music is a great way to bring people to wine; and what he believes makes a great wine pairing.
