Sure, wine director Aldo Sohm can advise diners at the upscale New York City restaurants Blaue Gans, Cafe Sabarsky and Wallse on great bottles to open with duck and venison -- such as the 1995 Vega Sicilia "Unico" Ribera del Duero that tops his lists at $550.
But how would this wine expert respond when asked for a few tips for the rest of us -- say, pizza eaters who don't feel like shelling out more than 20 bucks to accompany a slice or two?
There was no stumping him: Sohm didn't even blink before sharing a few recommendations on what to drink with pizza and even tomato-sauced pastas:
2003 Lan Crianza Rioja (Spain), $11
2004 Falesco Vitiano (Umbria, Italy), $10
2004 Barbera d'Asti Prunotto (Piedmont, Italy), $14
2005 Zweigelt Hillinger (Burgenland, Austria), $17
Chianti Classico Vicchiomaggio Ripa delle Mandorle (Italy), $20
