Whomst among us always has salmon with their Chardonnay? Not me! I hardly ever pair my drinks with my food - I'm usually enjoying my beer with a movie, wine with a book, or tea with a TV series.

I love to pair a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with a period drama, to enjoy an IPA with a sitcom or a black tea with a Jane Austen novel. It's fun to match up the story and the drink!

But, while there are tons of food/drink pairings online, where’s the guide that suggests a pu’erh with a viewing of Mad Men? That list doesn't exist!

So I started posting these pairings on social media and found that people enjoyed them, thus I've got some longer form posts ready for those who want to get into the reasoning behind these matches. A murder mystery and a merlot: why? Read on and you'll see...
