5 wine and beer pairings for shepherd’s pie

5 wine and beer pairings for shepherd’s pie

Posted on December 1 2016 at 07:39

You’ll always find people argue about shepherd’s pie but in my view it should be made with lamb rather than beef (that’s cottage pie) and with very little, if any tomato - apart from maybe a dash of ketchup for sweetness.

Lunch of supreme decadence @bobbobricard today trying out the new menu with some RIDICULOUSLY good wines. Caviar and champagne, turbot coulibiac and grand cru Chablis, and flaming crème brûlée with Chateau d’Yquem (see Stories too) If I don’t get back to London for a while at least I’m leaving it in style. Oh, and the dumplings, of which I didn’t get a decent photo (though see Stories again) are divine. #guest (OBVIOUSLY). . . . #caviar #champagne #bollinger #domperignon #turbot #coulibiac #cremebrulee #chablis #sauternes #chateaudyquem #winepairing #foodandwineThe twinkly lights of the gorgeous new @noblerotsoho luring you in invitingly even at 6.45pm. And leaving, well fed and watered at 9pm didn’t seem that much of a hardship. Good for a long late lunch I reckon too. Review to follow ... . . . #noblerot #noblerotsoho #soho #greekstreet #newrestaurant #paidforitmyselfMust confess I’d never heard of a chicken ‘tulip’ but apparently it’s a chicken wing turned inside out! Slathered in a gorgeous sticky, spicy glaze flavoured with star anise, cinnamon, prunes and bacon and scattered with honey-roast pecans it was a great match for a vintage Madeira. One of the brilliant pairings I tried last week from @67pall_mall’s new Wine and Food book by @ronansayburn and @marcusverberne - click on the link in my biog for the lowdown. It would also make a great Christmas present for any winelover. (Can’t believe I’m even THINKING about Christmas yet! 😱) #guest . . . #chicken #chickenwings #glaze #madeira #sercial #wine #winepairing #winematching #wineandfood #instawine #winestagram #67pallmallSome of the glorious orange wines I wrote about in @guardianfeast this weekend. Deep, rich, amber-hued, more like a red wine than a white, they’re great with middle-eastern and Turkish food as you’ll see if you click on the link in my bio. . . . #orangewine #amberwine #skincontactwine #naturalwine #wine #instawine #winestagram #foodandwine #winepairing Follow on Instagram
