By TED APPLEBY | ‘Orie does not have tobe a connoisseur to appreciate wine. The taste of food i is always - enhanced by the flavor and aroma of a. good wine.

Sweet wines are not recommended with meat, but _remember that when choos- ing a wine for a meal, it must be pleasing to the consumer. Also remember, that white wines are served before reds, and lesser reds before greater reds, with younger wines coming first.
