About Me
Wine for Newbies is a one-man-show run by Andre Costa. I was born in Brazil and in 2001 I moved to New York City, where I still live. I do not have a wine background, but I am working on creating one and Wine for Newbies was one of my first steps in reaching that goal. I decided to start Wine for Newbies as a tool to enrich my own knowledge about wine and, so far, it's working. It is a slow process, but a very rewarding one. I do intend to work with wine in the future as a main career, but I have not yet figured out which path I will take, as it seems the options are many. My next step is to take a serious wine class and add another layer to my knowledge.
Feel free to drop me a note. I am always looking for new like-minded friends, business partners, guest writers, etc.
Wine Trivia
Which of the following wines would be a classic pairing with a Chinese or Thai dinner?
— Wine Smarts Game
A - Chardonnay
B - Pinot Noir
C - Gewürztraminer
D - Gamay
Answer: Gewürztraminer
In general, most white wines work with spicy Asian food, but the classic pairing is Gewürztraminer with its own spicy characteristics that complement the spices in many Asian dishes. Other classic pairings with Asian foods include Riesling or a rich Pinot Gris.
