I brought a couple of bottles of a friend's house friday night. we originally had plan on cooking dinner that night, but my friend's wife got trashed the night before with her teacher friends so there was a change in plans. they ordered some pizzas instead (no domino's, real restaurant pizzas). not wanting to let the good wine go to waste, I uncorked the first one. 2002 stag's leap merlot.
the pizzas arrived and I had my first bite of the jalapeño/mushroom one. the spice was good, and not thinking twice I took a swig of my merlot. I was surprised at the instant transformation it took. it turned super super sweet.
anyone had a similar experience? or do merlots usually have that similar interaction with spicy foods?
