I’m Valerie, an amateur foodie and a lover of wine. But, it wasn’t always that way. I used to view food as, well, just food– something to be consumed for nourishment. And wine, well that wasn’t even an afterthought.
My food and wine journey started slowly, and ultimately grew to an obsession. I found myself planning full menus around a newly discovered wine….or hunting for the perfect bottle to go with one of my favorite recipes. The ‘pairing’ became my passion; exciting, frustrating yet truly rewarding once I found the perfect match.
Over time, I’ve come to realize that food and wine are simply meant to be experienced together. They complement one another deeply and elevate meals to true experiences. So, I decided to take my passion to the next level and share my experiences with family and friends through Simply Paired.
