Probably the best two books i know of are:

*What to Drink with What You Eat” by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page — just really comprehensive about pairings (including with tea and otherbeverages
*Andrea Immer’s “Everyday Wine with Food” — It doesn’t have all the answers but is packed with good info and recipes and written in a way hat helps the reader learn how to THINK about wine-food pairings, how to become instinctual, rather than just trying to memorize a list of good pairings.

I came to your blog this afternoon to ask this question, are you able to recommend a guide book that deals with just this topic? My wife and I would like to be able to say, we're having grilled Mackeral or pasta with basil and chicken, etc. what wine should we purchase? We would like a guide book that we could turn to in a situation like this, and then make a run to the wine shop armed with that information. Thank you! Chris Hello Bill,
