"Wine and food are like a man and a woman. Either they fight or they get along. When they get along, it's wonderful. When they fight, it's dreadful. I took classes to understand wine better, and when I began to understand wine, I realized it's not normal to choose a dish and then to choose a wine. Wine is a work of art that is corked and finished. A cook can modify his recipe up to the last minute. So we can make a dish that goes with a wine instead of the other way around. For me that is the pinnacle of gastronomy.[...]
There are not too many natural accords between wine and cheese. It's like Beethoven—or Mozart, I can't remember which—who said that making beautiful music is all about finding two notes which love each other."
Alain Senderens
