Which wines to pair with calamari/squid

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.

OK, OK. I confess, I am THOROUGHLY bored with my own cooking, gave up (sure it was the dispiriting effect of the rain) and ordered from @deliveroo 😱. Of whom I don’t really approve but needs must. Anyway it resulted in a perfectly cooked king prawn pad Thai from @wokyko delivered in 25 minutes. Absolutely can’t complain about that. Tried some of the wine samples I had open with it and the best to my surprise was a @berrybrosrudd Denis Jamain Reuilly #sauvignonblanc #youneverknow. . . . #noodles #padthai #kingprawns ##takeaway #wokyko #humpday🐪 #instafood #foodstagram #igfood #winepairing #eatlocal #bristolrestaurantIf yesterday left you feeling - as I did - as if your response to what is going on in the world had been inadequate don’t leave it there. Here’s another really good list of things you can do from @ywcausa (via @signesjohansen and @abrowntable) Racial injustice shouldn’t be part of the new normal, whatever that normal may be. #blacklivesmatter #bethechange #allyship #regramYou may have noticed I haven’t posted a black square. That’s because I think it’s too easy a box to tick. Fine, you’re saying, I’m not a racist. But if you’re left feeling, as I was, that you could and should do more start by asking someone in the black community what you could do to make a difference. @martiburgess pointed me towards this post from @mireillecharper which is admittedly a bit of a mouthful but suggests ways you can do exactly that. There are other suggestions on @lakota.bristol’s linktr.ee BLMLinks or, if you live in Bristol, as Marti and I do, follow @BlackSWNet on Twitter and Facebook. I personally feel it’s best to start local but do whatever seems right to you - I’ve posted some other links on my @food_writer Twitter feed. Make it your business to know what’s going on and #makeyourvoiceheard. Black. Lives. Matter. . . #regramIf this is your idea of a good evening you’re going to LOVE our prize this month which is a chance to win a six bottle case of a new luxury Côtes de Provence rosé called MAĪA.
