The Beauty of Wine
To begin the episode, Maria tells her listeners about the beauty and historical significance of
wine. She says, “The wines here aren’t just any ordinary beverage. There are works of art filled
with history that enhance all five of the human senses.”
Maria discusses the beautiful scenery and delicious wine found in the regions of Italy. After
talking about the beauty, she educates her listeners on how to correctly pair wine with meals.
She recommends pairing red wine with pasta and white wine with seafood and lighter foods.
Maria tells her listeners, “A Glass of wine should always be accompanied by a food that
coordinates with its particular taste. Pair that wine with an appetizer or meal and really
concentrate on the taste that is on your pallet so you really understand what you are
experiencing.”
A Delicious Dessert
After educating listeners on how to correctly pair wines with food, Maria gives them a delicious
recipe to try. The recipe is for Ciccolata e Amore, a delicious chocolate dessert. Maria tells
