“Teach me something new”

while i was using the search bar, I discovered that "teach me something new" is a common interview question for sales roles

so, savages, pretend I'm interviewing you

how would you respond? hit me with some savage trivia

here's what I would say:

----

if you're ever pairing wine with food, here are a few basic rules:

1. you want the wine to have more acid than the food. some of the highest acidity wines include *real* champagne and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc

2. sweet tempers heat! if you're enjoying spicy sushi -- or even hot wings -- grab a riesling or moscato to go along with it

3. red wine gets its color from tannin -- a compound that occurs naturally in many dark-colored plants including oak, tea leaves, and of course, grapes. 

4. the reason red wine pairs so well with red meat is because the tannins in red wine bind to fats, which turns each sip of wine into a palate-cleanser before the next bite of food

what about you, savages?
