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

Long overdue return visit to @theethicurean and this much loved view. The menu has changed with a focus on small plates but still based on the fantastic produce from the Barley Wood walled garden. (Swipe to see the some of the gorgeous dishes we ate.) Can’t think of a more perfect place to spend a summer Sunday. #guest. . . . #ethicurean #wrington #somerset #countryside #view #garden #vegetables #instafood #foodstagramBest road sign ever via @mareliroux #regramWorking my way steadily through the @littlefrench_bristol menu - tonight taking in the champagne risotto and steak tartare. Just the nicest place @freddybirdfood . . . #risotto #rice #mushrooms #fridaynight #bristolAlways jump at the chance of going round cheese maturing rooms (especially when the cheeses are infused with truffles) This one was on my recent Spanish trip - Queseria Campoveja in Serrada. Oh and they were sheep cheeses in case you’re wondering!. #presstrip. . . . #cheese #queso #sheepcheese #cheesemaker #campoveja #nofilter Follow on Instagram
