Pairings | Montepulciano Rosso

Tuscan-style sausages and beans with Montepulciano

Tuscan-style sausages and beans with Montepulciano

It’s been so busy the last few weeks that good pairings have been coming thick and fast but this was a great match I enjoyed at an offbeat new occasional restaurant which was launched by food and wine writer Marc Millon in Topsham, Devon the other day. (He’s also contributed a couple of pieces to this site including this wonderful piece about Bagna Cauda)

There are very few occasions on which sausages don't appeal but what’s the best pairing for them?

One of the highlights of this week’s scoffing with my pal @fionasims was this salt cod hash aka bacalhau à brás @bardouro in @flatironsquareuk in London. Which was basically a mash-up of salt cod and matchstick fries - comfort food of the highest order. It went brilliantly well with this slightly smoky Portuguese white - Bar Douro has a really interesting list which it also sells online. I also loved this light gamay-ish red Ginga and this dinky little mushroom pie which you won’t want to share (so don’t). A terrific little bar which will make you think about Portuguese wine in a different way (no, it’s not all port and chunky reds). #guest . . . #saltcod #bacalhau #mushroompie #wine #portuguesewine #naturalwine #bardouro #flatironsquareSumptuous spread and beautiful table setting for the launch of @sophie_grigson_herself’s newTV series Slice of Italy. Can’t wait for the book to be able to make these gorgeous biscotti and wickedly good chocolate and olive oil mousse. #guest. . . . . #puglianfood #italianfood #biscotti #sophiegrigsonssliceofitalyRaw Caesar mushroom, celery and parsley salad @boca_di_lupo. Fresh seasonal ingredients, sympathetically handled, not over-fussed but still pretty as a picture. What more do you want? . . . #mushrooms. #celery #salad #italianfood #eattheseasons #autumnfood #instafood #foodstagram@luca.restaurant’s Parmesan fries. If there’s a better bar snack in London I don’t know what it is. Srsly.
