Find the Perfect Dish for Any Wine (Windsurf)

You set a goal, and Cascade figures out the steps. Use `get_dish_for_wine` to input a wine type—like Merlot or Riesling—and get expert dish pairing recommendations back. It doesn't stop there. It can then take those results and run them through `get_wine_description` if you need more context on the wine itself.

Discover Wines for a Meal (MCP Server)

Need a bottle suggestion? The MCP Server handles it. Just give it an ingredient—say, salmon or pasta—and `get_wine_pairing` returns specific product suggestions, ratings, and prices. If you only know the dish but not the ingredients, use `recommend_wines`. This tool provides top-rated bottles with pricing details.

Get Wine Details and Pairings

Want to know more about a wine? Call `get_wine_description` for a deep dive into a specific type. Alternatively, if you're just browsing, `recommend_wines` lets you find top-rated bottles without specifying the pairing first.
