Barley vs. Grapes

As I'm sure you've probably heard, there has been a fair amount of attention given to the latest "Beer Revolution" and the fact that you are now seeing more and more "Beer Pairing" dinners pop up than those of their non-carbonated, grape juice variety.  This brings up a good point, to you, which do you feel goes better with food, beer or wine?  Now, as far as 'tasting' alcoholic beverages goes, I will say I got my start on wine back in college.  Of course I had my nights out slamming Mickey's, and competing in foosball tournaments with an O.E. 40 in hand, but after spending 2 summers in Silicon Valley, I can say that my palette had been 'refined'.  Yea, "whatever," right?  Since then, I've moved to Boulder, CO and taken in the abundance of local beer and as a result, my taste has yet again been altered from those foosball days of college.  So, what do you think?  Does wine go better with food or beer?  You know what my opinion is...

Here's an article I found talking about the same thing, so chew on that if you care to read.  If not, then just go ahead and attend the next beer pairing dinner at your local eatery; I promise you, you will NOT be disappointed!
