The Wine Wheel® is a very handy food and wine pairing tool that fits in a pocket or purse. The orientation of the wheel is such that the different wines are listed along the edge of the wheel and the corresponding foods are located in the center rotating triangle. It not only pairs wines with foods but also imparts useful wine tidbits of information that increases your wine IQ while still entertaining your palate!

Various schools have picked it up as curriculum and is regularly referenced by people in the food and wine trade. Angela is adept in today's modern culinary world and is knowledgeable about wines from around the world. The importance of knowledge in both fields is crucial for The Wine Wheel® is based on generalizations on the terroir of wine and pairs foods with it. For a Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre (France) tastes different than a Sauvignon Blanc from California (and from a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc).
