Slummin' It

Foie Gras and Sauternes ! Champagne and Caviar ! Sure its classic and delicious but who can afford it, certainly not on my salary. How about BBQ Ribs and Chilean Carmenère or even Maple Bacon and Whiskey ? Everyday food, everyday wine to enjoy everyday. That's my mission as Slum Somm to show you how to have great culinary experiences and stay under budget ! The path least traveled is where I choose to go so come along for the journey and we can thumb our nose at the established rules of wine pairing and disband pretentious ideas by discovering what works and not blindly following what we are told. Box Wine ? Screwcaps ? Sangria ? Basement tastings ? Homemade Wine ?...WHY NOT ? Don't let some one else tell you what you should like, discover it yourself and have no shame in what you like. Grab your paper bag, some loose change and an open mind and let's go slummin !
