I have no doubt that certain wines can bring out certain flavors in food and vice versa - but if avgas really brings out the flavor in cauliflower, I really don't give a fuck - I don't want to taste either one. I am open to trying some pairings, but I drink Sav Blanc with my steak because I like Sav Blanc and I like steak!
Mario is a legend - I have his signature inside the glovebox of my 79 Lotus Esprit "JPS" edition - he signed it for the previous owner. Would love to meet the guy.
