Bite. Sip. Bite. The Pairing Guide

Choosing wine for dinner should not require a certification exam, a vintage chart, or fifteen minutes of staring blankly at the wine aisle.

Bite. Sip. Bite. is a practical 8-page food and wine pairing guide designed to help you choose a better bottle for whatever is actually happening on the plate. Created by Advanced Sommelier and wine educator Austin Tabbone, this downloadable guide turns professional wine-pairing principles into approachable advice you can use at home, at a restaurant, or while shopping for wine.

The method is simple: take a bite, take a sip, then go back for another bite. If the food makes the wine more delicious and the wine does the same for the food, congratulations. You paired it.

Inside the guide, you’ll find:

• A simple three-step method for understanding any food and wine pairing

• An easy wine-pairing decision tree based on the loudest flavor on the plate

• A quick-reference wine pairing chart for home-cooked meals

• Wine recommendations for pizza, tacos, curry, sushi, barbecue, fried chicken, ramen, and other takeout favorites

• Help pairing difficult foods and flavors, including chile heat, vinegar, bitter greens, asparagus, chocolate, and dessert

• Five delicious “bottles with social skills” for chaotic menus, crowded tables, mixed orders, or showing up at a friend’s house

• Clear explanations of why sparkling wine, Riesling, dry rosé, Gamay, and Chenin Blanc work with such a broad range of foods

• A five-minute wine-aisle guide for understanding alcohol percentage, Old World versus New World labels, and what bottle aging actually changes

• Practical pairing-rescue advice for when the wine suddenly tastes bitter, hot, sour, or flat

This is not a comprehensive wine textbook, and that is very much the point. Bite. Sip. Bite. is a concise, useful field guide for curious wine drinkers who want to make more confident choices without memorizing dozens of grapes or rigid pairing rules.

Save it to your phone before your next grocery-store trip, keep it nearby when ordering takeout, or pull it up when five people have ordered five completely different things. It is also a useful reference for anyone learning about wine, hosting friends, building a home wine collection, or trying to become the person who reliably brings the right bottle.

Less memorizing. More eating. Much better wine choices.
