Have you ever picked up a bottle of wine and read the label? It usually has a line somewhere that reads, "this medium-body red has a sweet cherry aroma that pairs well with steak and potatos…" or something like that. Those of us who aren't culinary scholars or wine-tasting experts are usually left thinking: where do they come up with this stuff? Bu...
