Which wines pair best with pork?

Which wines pair best with pork?

Posted on August 18 2019 at 07:11

As with most foods, the best wine pairing with pork depends how the pork is cooked, and what it’s served with.

Last night we opened a bottle of 2005 Nugan Estate McLaren Parish Vineyard Shiraz - a typically big lush Aussie red at a hefty 15% ABV.

10 food pairings for peaty whiskies

Posted on November 30 2020 at 07:15

Following my trip to Islay a while ago I drew up some pairings for its extraordinary peaty whiskies. I’m not a great one for whisky dinners but I like the idea of serving tapa-sized dishes with a dram.

Finally beginning to see the value of pressure cooking. An incredibly tasty lamb curry from @catherinephipps Modern Pressure Cooking in 15 minutes (+ marinating + depressurising but still much quicker than cooking it conventionally). I miss the process of watching the dish evolve but can’t deny it’s efficient. And cheap. . . #pressurecooker #pressurecooking #lamb #lambcurry #curryMothers Day flowers (thanks @wjjbeckett and @mariaallerc 😘😘) and loads of daffs on my #mothersday walk. Really is worth going up to @ashton_court_estate at this time of year especially when the sun is shining . . . #flowers #bouquet #daffodils #daffs #ashtoncourtFirst visit to @casa.restaurant.bristol the reincarnation of @petersancheziglesias Casamia. Hard to describe - part Italian, part hipster Shoreditch (the brined and smoked pork chop - apols for the really rubbish photo), it’s a much more casual restaurant than its predecessor. Some standout dishes showing really impressive technique. Some crisp little balls filled with molten Parmesan (swoon), a perfect dish of charred squid with peperonata, garganeli with fennel sausage and pangrattato (really good) and a sumptuously buttery dish of cabbage and bacon (but expensive for a side at £11). Textbook tiramisu too. Top notch cooking but almost New York pricey so a bit out of reach for a regular night out though the restaurant was rammed with twenty- and early thirtysomethings. Maybe they do deals? Worth investigating …. #guest . . . #pasta #squid #cabbage #bristolfood #bristolrestaurant #bristolI’ve got so firmly labelled as a wine writer over the last few years that some of you may not know I started off writing about food and have actually written a number of cookery books so it’s great to have been given the opportunity by @decanter to come up with 4 recipes for their Rioja guide this month. Smoky lamb chops with patatas bravas in the main picture, some rather addictive mushroom tapas in the second, inspired by a bar in Logrono where that’s the only thing they serve. All four super-easy and paired with different Riojas. . . . #decantermagazine #rioja #lambchops #patatasbravas #mushrooms #tapas #recipes #foodandwine #winepairing Follow on Instagram
