It’s true that lamb is one of the most wine-friendly of meats, as at home with red Bordeaux and Rioja as it is with the fruitier wines of the new world. But if you’re looking for a spot-on wine pairing it’s worth thinking just how - and for how long - you’re going to cook it.

@bar44tapas very superior sherry snacks for last night’s ‘sherrytastic’ Instagram tasting with me and @sherrymonster44. Paired with sherries from @gonzalezbyassuk. Tio Pepe fino with marinated gordal olives and Marcona almonds. Tio Pepe fino en Rama with boquerones (sherry vinegar cured Cadiz anchovies). viña AB amontillado with wild boar and truffle salchichon and marinated artichoke. Leonor palo cortado with 12 month cured manchego and dried fig. Alfonso oloroso with roast piquillo pepper and oak smoked Galician cecina. And Nectar Pedro Ximinez with Bar 44 chocolate truffle and Asturias blue cheese. My favourite pairing? It was a close call between the palo cortado and manchego and the PX and chocolate truffle but I LOVE palo cortado so that inched it. You can see the tasting on @sherrymonster44’s insta feed. #dotrythisathome . . . #sherry #fino #amontillado #oloroso #pedroximenez #px #palocortado #olives #almonds #manchego #cecina #salchichon #tapas #sherrylover #sherryissexy #sherrytastic #winepairing #foodandwine #bar44When do you drink an iconic bottle of wine like @penfolds Grange? Not in a restaurant, for sure. On a special occasion? The obvious answer, but often the occasion takes over and you forget about the wine. So maybe just when you have something to celebrate like seeing your family after 3 months and @liverpoolfc winning the league. With your nearest and dearest over a simple Sunday night supper because ...well, what are you waiting for? What does it taste like? Just gorgeous - velvety, dark, damsony, smooth, sumptuous. As memorable as you’d hope (which isn’t always the case with famous wines). Massive treat. . . #wine #australianwine #shiraz #Grange #iconwines #instawine #winestagramFabulous bits and dips from @dulwich.lyceum in my social bubble tonight. Included mega tarama, octopus and babaganoush First night away from home in 3 months and wonderful to finally hug my kids and grandkids @wjjbeckett @mariaallerc 🙌. . . . #mezze #hummus #taramasalata #octopus #babaganoush #instafood #foodstagram #familytime #familyreunion #socialbubbleI’ve been working out what I can do to help my cheesemaker friends @trethowanbrothers and it occurred to me that if you could pair pecorino with broad beans their delicious crumbly lemony Gorwydd Caerphilly should work equally well with the freshly picked peas I got from my pal Stephen Markwick’s allotment. And being #englishwineweek maybe a glass of Bacchus on the side. With @petersyard sourdough crispbread rather than bread it makes a lovely light summery lunch. Reckon we too often think of cheese in the context of a cheeseboard rather than savouring it on its own with the perfect food or wine accompaniment. Cheesy peas reimagined! . If you can get your hands on some fresh peas do try it. You can now buy Gorwydd and TB’s lovely Pitchfork cheddar direct from their website or from specialist cheese shops like @bristol_cheese. . . . #cheese #caerphilly #gorwydd #trethowanbrothers #englishpeas #peas #cheesypeas #crispbread #cheeseplate #summercheese #bacchus #englishwine #wineandcheese #winepairing Follow on Instagram
