I was reading one of the excerpts from Four Seasons Wines " The old rules state 'Red Wines with red meats, White Wines with poultry & fish'. However, in today's age where "Fusion" food dominates the culinary scene, there can only be suggestions and no hard & fast rules on this subject, which leaves you with considerable room for experimenting & personal choice"
