The best wine pairings for partridge

The best wine pairings for partridge

Posted on September 21 2024 at 06:07

I sometimes think partridge is my favourite game bird - less full-on and ‘gamey’ than pheasant, more subtle and delicate than chicken. But what wine should you drink with it?

The most interesting meal I had last week was undoubtedly at Viajante, an innovative new restaurant in what used to be Bethnal Green town hall. You can see my full review on decanter.com but I just wanted to write a bit more about the pairings.

Always knew @juliet49londonrdstroud was going to be my kinda restaurant from the oysters to the gloriously fresh asparagus with broad beans and stracciatella, textbook steak tartare and allumettes and tarte tatin. @ellypear cracking up over her TWO chocolate desserts. Me in seventh heaven with chips and roasties. Such a great place @williammrees and a lovely, lovely teamBristol’s latest opening @ragu.restaurant.bristol taking their name seriously with an (absolutely delicious) pea ragu. Served with shoulder of lamb, salsa verde and some wicked roast AND fried potatoes (as a side). Great focaccia with whipped bottarga butter too. #notafreebieCan’t beat a good steak frites - or a good soufflé suissesse. Also great to see such an exceptionally well curated wine list available by the glass. Nice work team @bankbristol. Welcome @lapinbristol #notafreebieRidiculously cute Jersey cows @blancpignondairyfarm producing deep-flavoured golden butter and ice creams. The black butter ice cream which is actually cooked apple with spices was particularly delicious. That’s farmer David Leng in the milking parlour. #presstrip . . . #Jersey #jerseycows #butter #icecream #visitjersey #genuinejsy Follow on Instagram
