What are the best wine pairings for Vacherin Mont d’Or/Vacherin du Haut-Doubs?

People occasionally ask me my favourite cheese - an impossible question but Vacherin Mont d’Or is certainly up there in the top 5.

Tête de veau and Côtes du Jura rouge

Last week I was travelling back through France again and encountered a number of interesting matches but the one that worked best for me was in a modern bistro by the covered market in Besançon called La Table des Halles.

Really excellent - if somewhat pricey - cheese, kale and baharat pide @oklava_ldn today. Loved the punchy pickles on the side too but £30* for what is basically a pizza, a salad and a small glass of (orange) wine is going it a bit, isn’t it guys? Or am I totally out of touch with London prices. * + a charity donation of £1 which I didn’t mind paying at all . . . #pide #kale #cheese #pickles #vegetarian #orangewine #oklava #oldstreet #londonrestaurantsIf you’ve watched with increasing horror as Australia has gone up in flames you’ll be relieved to know that there are now a number of ways you can help those most affected. One imaginative one has been spearheaded by wine merchant @gusgluck who is co-ordinating an auction of rare Australian wines this weekend to raise money for the many wineries affected by the blazes. (Swipe for an example) Follow Gus for more details of the auction and read the very good piece on @jancisrobinson’s website to find out other ways you can help. . . . #australiaisburning #australianbushfires #australianwine #wine #wineauction #instawine #winestagram #regramWas away too much to buy in a whole load of different cheeses this Christmas but I was given a huge wedge of this absolutely glorious Pitchfork Somerset cheddar by my pals @trethowansdairy which I shared with family and friends and have been enjoying since I got home. It really is the most perfect cheddar - deep and full of flavour but not too aggressively strong so lovely with a good glass of red (by no means true of all cheeses) as well as beer and cider, obviously. Toasts well too. Shall be sad when it’s finished though I can (and will) obviously buy more. . . . #cheese #cheddar #pitchfork #trethowansdairy #gift #grilledcheese #happydaysFour of the alcohol-free drinks from my new book How to Drink without Drinking are in @guardianfeast today: red ‘wine’ hot chocolate, turmeric latte (for which I suggest using @rebel_kitchen’s Rebel Mylk), cranberry cordial to use up those leftover cranberries and a chocolate espresso martini (plus 2 more online if you go to the @guardian website - a switchel and a banana, coconut and cardamom lassi). You can buy the book from the Guardian Bookshop (and do please rather than Amazon!) #howtodrinkwithoutdrinking. . . . #alcoholfree #dryjanuary #mocktails #sober #soberlife #guardianfeast Follow on Instagram
