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

Posted on September 7 2009 at 11:24

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.

A lot of people are celebrating their heroines today but I want to flag up someone who I see as a star of the future in the UK wine industry - @natzgeorge who I was lucky enough to have as an intern last year. She’s studying for a BSc in Wine Production at @plumptonwine and she’s written a piece on how to taste wine for my website (click on the lInk in my bio to read it). You can also find her on Tiktok as @learnaboutwinewithme. Go Natalie! #futurestars #wine #internationalwomensday.Not my best picture EVER but I dipped into @hughfearnleywhittingstall’s new book Eat Better Forever with my mate @fionasims on Zoom at the weekend and this was the result. Double dhal with carrot and raita salad. Fi, being rather more health-conscious than I am, was keener on the book than I was - I definitely think dal benefits from both oil and onions but it made a really easy Saturday night supper and went brilliantly well with this lovely @pegasusbaywine Riesling as you can see from the post on my website (link in bio). The wine was a press sample and the book a review copy. . . . #dal #dhal #lentils #pulses #raita #riesling #vegetarian #winepairing #wineandfood #matchoftheweekMore tartine action, this time cos I fancied smoked salmon bagels but - small problem - hadn’t got any bagels. Actually they’re just as good on toast and look rather prettier tbh. Smørrebrød rather than tartines perhaps. Good breakfast anyway 😀. . . . #tartine #toast #smorrebrod #smokedsalmon #opensandwich #breakfast #brunchWhile they’re busy renaming fish they should have a think about the term ‘oily fish’. I mean, how offputting is that? Yet it’s actually rather delish, a great quick lunch and healthy, as we know. This was my pimped up sardines on toast this week with spring onion, parsley, lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice and a few toasted pine nuts sprinkled on top, cos why not? If I called it sardine bruschetta would that make it sound sexier? (Sardine tartine, suggested by @everydayfabulousfood, is better still!) . . . #fish #oilyfish #sardines #toast #tartine #lunch #easyrecipes #healthyfood #healthyeating #omega3 Follow on Instagram
