Good wine pairings for Saint-Nectaire

Good wine pairings for Saint-Nectaire

Posted on July 20 2014 at 07:07

Having spent a few days in the Auvergne recently and eaten more than my fair share of Saint Nectaire cheese with a variety of wines, mostly natural, here’s what I think works best.

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

Posted on October 10 2019 at 06:26

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

The best wine matches for Comté

Posted on September 2 2015 at 06:34

After a recent visit to the Jura I've rethought my ideas about which wines make the best wine pairings for Comté cheese.

Absolutely loving the idea of this squash baked with beer, cheese, cream and pretzels from @5oclockapron’s brilliant new book Home Cookery Year. Basically it’s a fondue baked in a squash WITH ADDED PRETZELS! What’s not to love? The perfect way to celebrate Oktoberfest at home - the recipe conveniently serves 6 so you’re within the legal limit 😂 There’s a link to the recipe in my biog. Photo by @samuelflamuel. . . . #squash #cheese #fondue #beer #homecooking #cookbook #homecookeryyear #oktoberfest #ruleofsixLunch 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 #67pallmall Follow on Instagram
