Seafood is taken super-seriously in this part of Spain. There are 3 different flavours of crab meat in the shell explained Javi Izurieta of @pazosenorans - the body meat (the sweetest), the leg meat (the most savoury) and the brown meat - the deepest in flavour. But they all went stunningly well with their 2022 albarino, a wine that’s just made for shellfish. . . . #crab #seafood #shellfish #albarino #riasbaixas #winepairing #foodandwine #presstripNot maybe what you’d think of as the typical Spanish vineyard as the vines are trained on overhead poles to escape the humidity in this impossibly lush green leafy part of Spain. #riasbaixas #albarino #vines #vineyard #galicia #presstrip@noahsbristol_ may be good for fish and chips - it is - but the razor clams are off the scale. A perfect place to go on these lovely light summer evenings too. . . . #clams #razorclams #fishandchips #noahsbristol #fishrestaurant #bristolfood #eatlocal #notanadBoth ends of a fabulous wine dinner @spring_ldn this week with wines from @domaine.hugo and veg from @fernverrow. Much more than a conventional wine dinner - a really insightful discussion about the philosophy of organic and biodynamic farming and viticulture. Absolutely loved this dish of salt-baked kohlrabi with herbs and fig-leaf oil and the honey custard tart with elderflower fritters that finished the meal. The wines were really amazing too #guest #winedinner #kohlrabi #custardtart #springrestaurantlondon #skyegyngell #foodandwine #eattheseasons #englishwine Follow on Instagram
