After cheese, is all wine the same?

That's what a study reported on in New Scientist claims: apparently cheese masks the subtle flavours that distinguish good wine from plonk, to the point that even experts can't tell the difference between the two.

In other words, if you're going to have a wine and cheese party, don't serve the good stuff.

We just wish someone had told us that before we poured out those two bottles of Chateau Latour as Margaret Anne's mom's birthday party recently (tasting notes to come)...
