Last night we had a fun five course wine and food matching dinner at Rockfish Grill in Bristol which showed the range of wines you can match with fish. Here’s a few thoughts about how we approached it for those of you who are organising a similar event.

Cuttlefish is a pain to prepare as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall points out in the Guardian today but it is particularly delicious to eat. It’s often partnered with robust flavours so you need to think in terms of equally intense flavoured wines.

Wines for some tricky Chinese dishes

When I read Mark Hix recipes in The Independent today they were so challenging that I nearly gave up but as everyone else seems to be writing about asparagus today and I’ve done a lot on asparagus recently there was no other option . . .

There’s some amazingly good chardonnay around these days but it’s still hard to beat a white burgundy like this seductively creamy 2013 Puligny-Montrachet from Francois Carillon. . . . #burgundy #whiteburgundy #pulignymontrachet #finewine #whitewine #instawine #winestagramAnother great shot from the @peoples_vote march yesterday - in Trafalgar Square with top placards from @signesjohansen (right) and @gomungo. @emmahughes86 banner-waving on the left. #peoplesvotemarch #bollockstobrexitGood humoured but nonetheless passionately supported @peoples_vote march in London today. So many people feeling it’s utterly wrong for us to crash out without having another say. Not confident @theresamay or @jeremycorbyn will listen but they should. #brexit #peoplesvoteHave to report that these Tortita de Camerones @gambastapasbar at Wapping Wharf last night were just insanely good. Deeply umami - like the best ever prawn crackers. . . . #prawns #gambas #tortitasdecamaron #tapas #wappingwharf #bristol Follow on Instagram
