When deciding what type of wine to drink with a meal, there's often a last minute struggle to remember whether it's white or red that goes with seafood or beef, and whether the drink should be chilled or served at room temperature.  A similar thing happens with beer geeks.  My official opinion on the matter is that if you don't like the beverage under normal circumstances, you still won't like it even if it's served with the best food on earth.  I don't care that red wine goes well with strong cheeses or that ales go well with seafood.  I don't like red wine and I don't like ales, ergo I won't dislike them any less when paired with the right food. #food
