The Unreal Food And Wine Experience

If you simply marvel at a great food and wine experience, and if pairing great recipes with great wines is something you are truly passionate about, then you need to read each and every word of this article.

Imagine an online contest where you get to pair your favorite recipes with your favorite wines.

And what would you call a contest such as this? You’d call it The Great Taste Challenge.

Men and women from across the US literally went into their favorite recipe books to decided what to make in their kitchens.

This was all done on video.

These very personable people showed exactly how they made their dishes on camera.

Then those wonderfully animated people revealed what type of wine they thought complimented that dish best.

There they were, doing the thing that gives them such incredible joy…showing off their talents in the kitchen for their love of the corkscrew!

And this year there were more of these video entries than ever before.

What a wonderful way for people to show off one of those things in life that simply brings them so much joy. And who even knew that so many people were this passionate about the pairing of foods and wines? Who really knew that there were so many people out there looking for an excuse to create a food and wine experience?

Then the fun with the voting began.

That’s when these wonderful folks started to harness Twitter and Facebook and Flickr and every other social site they could to get the word out as quickly as they could that their video recipe submission needed the vote. It very quickly became an “American Idol” like atmosphere for voting where people not even associated with the contest started to have real favorites. Total blast.

These video entrants then started to get the word out about voting so that people would find their videos and start the process of picking a winner.

What a blast.

The Great Taste Challenge is not over…and is still looking for your votes!

Are you just waiting for an amazing food and wine experience? The Great Taste Challenge is a food and wine pairing event unlike anything else.
