I want to start including wine/beer pairing in the food I cook for myself and others. There's this nifty infographic I found that seems a good start, but does /ck/ have any other advice to give? e.g., any exceptions to the general rules of thumb to be mindful of or, w/r/t wine, regional differences within the same varietal that changes it's flavor a bit?
The infographic is shit and you should delete it and never look at it again.
For example as to your question, riesling is a really common example of a grape that's made into extremely different styles of wine, yet it's presented as generically as a "sweet wine that goes great with pad thai lmao weed XD" because of the misguided belief that dumbing things down to the point of being worse than useless is a good way to educate people who are too lazy to read and taste and decide for themselves.
I've raged enough at that infographic that I'll just stop right there, it's not even worth correcting.
That infographic is so goddamn shitty.

Thank you, goddamn. I want information, not a cereal box quiz.

Food and drink pairings are a fucking joke, like most of the stupid mythology about wine. It literally doesn't matter what wine you serve any meal with.

The sommelier at the store told me to try it, and I have to agree:
Dark chocolate works magically with port wines

Dark chocolate goes well with almost all red wines. The port just cuts down the bitterness of the dark chocolate because it's so sweet. Port is like 20g of sugar per serving, I used to love the stuff but it wreaks havoc on your glucose levels.

Look for a wine tasting club in your area. I've been going since I turned 21. One of my favorite pairings is cream sherry with carrot cake or spice cake.

I need to look cool and know what I'm talking about
It's funny how /ck/ goes into defensive rage mode as soon as someone mentions wine. If the trolls around weren't such lame ass boring fucks they would make wine threads instead of the same old well done steak shit over and over again hehe
