Dining should be an experience even if you've taken the sustainable plunge into vegetarianism. I'm a big fan of turning off the TV and sitting at the dining room table for meals.

When you go out to eat it's great to have an idea of what foods best highlight the flavors in all your meals so that they can shine. It's great to have a waiter or a waitress that knows but if you have no such luck then you won't have to choose blindly. Here are some of my favorite wine pairings with vegetarian meals and flavors.
