The truth about wine and food pairing

I have always wondered, when connoisseurs pair wine with food, is the wine supposed to bring out the flavour of the food, or is the food supposed to bring out the flavour of the wine. 

Today, I faux pas and learnt it the hard way that it is the latter, when I said, "Hmm, this sauvignon blanc made my chicken really yummy," and everyone at the table cracked up.

Actually, they should not be laughing. It's a pairing, both are important, both help you to enjoy either more.

Equally important, both can degrade the taste or each other too.

Let's do a pairing next time :)
