Feuillete of mackerel and sea bass with aubergine caviar at the Auberge de Tavel - along with some very good olive breD. Good with Tavel obvs but surprisingly good with a red Lorax too. #presstrip.

Fabulous bit of haute cuisine from Matthieu Viannay of @lamerebrazier at the Hermitage dinner last night: a pike quenelle shaped like a piece of fish with an unctuous lobster sauce. It was also a brilliant match with a Domaine Jean-Claude et Nicolas Fayolle Les Dionnieres 2017 and a 2008 Chapoutier white Hermitage - not on the menu and decanted so afraid I can’t tell you which one #guest.

Tasting of older Hermitage vintages at La Chapelle du Lycée Gabriel Faure. This @jeanlouischave 1998 Hermitage is one of the best wines I’ve ever tasted though his 1998 white ran it close.

The extraordinary vineyards, soil and famous chapel of Hermitage. Really a magical place.
