Which wines to pair with calamari/squid

Posted on July 20 2019 at 07:57

Calamari or squid is often served as a starter or appetiser with other dishes so you need to bear that in mind when you’re choosing a wine to pair with it. It also depends on the way you prepare it.

The best pairings for albarino (and alvarinho)

Posted on September 2 2019 at 07:21

If I had to sum up the best food pairing for albarino in one word it would be seafood. Which makes sense considering where it comes from on the coast of Galicia in the Rias Baixas region of northern Spain.

Contrary to appearances I don’t eat pasta EVERY day. I mean there’s a salad here too. And my pal had perfectly cooked red mullet. And there was apple and walnut tart. Another sensational meal @sonnystores, a more than worthy successor to the great Birch #bristol. . . . #pasta #tagliatelle #salad #redmullet #appletart #italianfood #sonnysstores #newfavouriterestaurant #eatlocalFINALLY got to @breakingbreadbristol last night and thanks to eating with a friend who was writing a piece on the Bristol food scene got to try a bit of both the menus. Casarecce with prawns from @pastaloco and @pastaripiena, mussels and smoked haddock chowder and hake with pork belly dumpling from @theponyandtrap. Not the best photography (er hem) but really cracking food from an outdoor offsite kitchen. Massively impressive #guest. . . . #pasta #casarecce #seafood #shellfish #prawns #shrimp #chowder #soup #smokedhaddock #hake #dumplings #surfandturf #breakingbreadbristol #bristolContinuing this week’s unplanned red and orange theme a @leicestershire_handmade_cheese Sparkenhoe Red Leicester from @neals_yard_dairy courtesy of @olivers_cider. Obviously we drank cider with it though it’s one of those rare cheeses that goes really well with red wine, especially Bordeaux. #guest. . . . #cheese #britishcheese #redleicester #sparkenhoeredleicester #cider #redwine #cheeseandcider #cheeseandwine #herefordshireAnother set of shots from last weekend. The world is all red at the moment - at least it is in Herefordshire by the beautiful River Wye. . . . #autumnleaves #fallcolors #maple #redleaves #herefordshire #rossonwye #riverwye #nofilter Follow on Instagram
