Alternative wine matches for lamb

Alternative wine matches for lamb

Posted on June 14 2009 at 08:40

The perfect match for lamb is red wine, right? Well, mostly but not always as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's recipes in the Guardian this weekend and my own recent experience have demonstrated

Splendidly boozy Christmas lunch @abajo.london hosted by @whiskyexchange showing their spirits of the year: @deanstonmalt 18 y o, #heightofarrows gin (made up as a Gibson) and @foursquare_rum_distillery’s glorious Doorley’s rum which I suspect would have been a great match for this Dulce de Leche fondant pudding if we hadn’t already scoffed it with the duck. (Yes! Duck with rum! Who knew?) Delicious food all round in fact from @sucre.london. #guest. PS possibly NOT the best idea to go out to dinner afterwards @noblerotbar but hey, Christmas comes but once a year and all that …See Stories . . . #spirits #whisky #scotch #gin #rum #dulcedeleche #dessert #gibson #abajo #sucre #thewhiskyexchangeBefore and after. There is something very happy-making about putting up the Christmas tree. Thanks @eventsbychantal for the help and @regthe_veg for delivering it to my doorstep. . . . #christmastree #christmaslights #decorationsUnless you have some iberico (or ordinary) pig cheeks in the fridge you may have to plan this amazing recipe from @sherrymonster44 and @bar44tom ’s brilliant new book Tapas y Copas ahead. It’s cooked with Pedro Ximinez sherry and you can find the recipe through the link in my bio. Picture by @matt_inwood. Treat yourself! . . . #pork #ibericopork #porkcheeks #sherry #pedroximinez #tapasycopas #px #bar44Gloriously creamy Gorgonzola from @thaneeprince’s neighbourhood deli @dagiovannadeli for a fabulous indoor picnic yesterday (see next shot for the full spread) Thane is a great cook but appreciates the fact that you don’t need to be the one who makes the food, simply to know how to put a delicious meal together and where to go for good ingredients. (Living near Essex Road helps!) it’s a win win situation, less work for the host, supports your local indies and your guests actually get to chat with you rather than watch you getting flustered over the food. (Not that Thane would ever get flustered). There were also three ages of comté (this happens when you visit a food writer) and a bottle of one of my favourite natural wines Hurluburlu. Oh and the MINCE PIES from @jolene_colebrookerow were AMAZING. . . . #lunch #picnic #cheese #gorgonzola #comté #hurluberlu #bread #easyentertaining #foodwithfriends Follow on Instagram
