토끼 창자 순대가 미식으로…‘와인이란 세계’를 만난 날

In 2010, while studying abroad in France, the author had their first encounter with an unfamiliar dish at a restaurant in the city of Reims. Among the various dishes in the meal, they encountered French cuisine's version of 'souvlaki' made from the innards of a rabbit. The author, who generally disliked food, was overwhelmed by the unfamiliar flavors of the dish.

Despite their initial reluctance, the author took a bite and was surprised by the unique taste that developed in their mouth. The experience of pairing this dish with a local wine, Côtes du Rhône, opened the author's eyes to a new world of food and wine. The author later went on to explore this world, experimenting with different wines and dishes, and discovering the unique flavors that each combination brought out.

They realized that the right pairing of food and wine could transform a simple meal into something extraordinary, and they continued to enjoy the journey of discovering new flavors in the vast world of wine.
