The best wine pairings with meatballs

The best wine pairings with meatballs

Posted on June 6 2020 at 07:58

Meatballs are essentially comfort food so you don’t want to drink anything too fancy with them but you do need something equally delicious - usually red in my book

I agonised over whether this should be the standout pairing from this marvellous Lebanese meal at Arabica last week but it won by just a whisker.

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
