10 good wine pairings with paté

Posted on July 12 2019 at 21:18

By paté I’m thinking of what wines to drink with rough country patés and terrines like a paté de campagne rather than fish patés or vegetarian patés which I’ll tackle separately. The sort that you might take on a picnic or eat in a wine bar.

The best pairings for amontillado and palo cortado sherry

Amontillado sherry has richer, nuttier flavours than a classic fino or manzanilla sherry and calls for different food matches. Think more in terms of cured meat, game and cheese than seafood and richer, meatier tapas.

The weather and the news (gawd!) may be dire but things are really starting to look up in the shops. PSB (purple sprouting broccoli) in my local greengrocer @regthe_veg yesterday. Which also has brilliant pink forced rhubarb (perfect for a homemade cordial), sweet blood oranges (sooo good with fennel) and all kinds of other delicious citrus. Maybe I’ll make lemon curd ...now there’s a thought ...💛 What makes you happy at this time of year? . . . #broccoli #purplesproutingbroccoli #greens #vegetables #veggies #eatlocal #eattheseasons #clifton #bristolIf any day is a day for comfort food it’s a Sunday, particularly these endlessly gloomy February days. So what could be more cheering than @fergushenderson’s Welsh rarebit which you may have had at @st.john.restaurant. There’s a brilliant trick to making it which means you can prep the topping ahead. Oh, and obviously make sure you have a full bottle of Worcestershire sauce. The recipe, from the wonderful Book of St John, is up on the website now (click link in my bio).

Anyway I spotted this in @piccadillywaterstones on Thursday and demolished it in 24 hours. If you haven’t read it it really is PURE JOY - scintillating, insightful, human, laugh-out-loud funny. The chapter on reading, ‘On Rapture’ says it all. . . . #books #bookstagram #journalism #noraephron #bookloverIs there any better match for a great chardonnay (in this case Stephane Tissot’s 2005 Les Graviers from the Jura) than poulet de Bresse and chips? (Don’t even argue!)
