my name is jeff but you can call me fryguy,
i've been chefing since i was 14, over 30 years i am currently the sous at a private country club in lake oswego for the past 15 years......well here's the deal, i have info that the chef will be leaving and i finally think i'm going to throw my hat in the ring for that position....i have alot to offer but i am a little hesitant on some of the wine parring dinners wich we do a lot of. so i'm here to see what this forum might have to offer in that regard

thanks
fryguy

Hi Fryguy and welcome to Chef Talk. Good luck with the new job!

There are plenty of people here who know about pairing food with wine (or beer, for that matter); we have a forum for just that!

Have a look around at all the forums, the blogs, photo galleries, cooking articles and much more. The search tool will come in handy for all that exploring.

Stop in often! We'll look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Mezzaluna

Welcome!
I was just up in your area a week ago, helping a friend cater a wedding in Scappoose.
(doesn't everyone cook their butt off on their vacation? lol)
Also made time to dine at Sel Gris, Chef Dan Mondok is doing excellent work.
I was in the local ACF chapter with him long ago.

Besides this site, the easiest way to gain the wine knowledge is speak with your wine rep.
If they're worth their salt they should be able to help pair wines based on your menu descriptions.
Keep notes, and after a time you will feel much more comfortable.
