Wine (and other) pairings for peaches and nectarines

Wine (and other) pairings for peaches and nectarines

Posted on August 2 2020 at 06:17

Being surrounded by peaches and nectarines at the moment has reminded me what a brilliant match they are for a glass of dessert wine. And, surprisingly, even for a red!

Apple tarts are one of the most flattering desserts to match with sweet wines but what do you drink with other apple-based desserts?

Wine of the week: a cut-price Sauternes

If you’re unsure what to buy it’s always tempting to go for a big name but when you find you’ve got an equally good option at half the price it’s mad not to go for that.

You may know @essexeating for his weekly breakfasts but turns out he’s also a Comté obsessive. This is the sublime comtê tart he made to celebrate his 50th last night along with a humongous piece of Comté cheese. Think he should make himself available for birthday catering. . . . #cheese #comté #cheesetart #cheeseboard #essexeatingI love putting together my annual cookbook round up which is not so much a ‘best of’ as an attempt to match them to the right recipient. So many great books this year, some of which I just haven’t got round to acquiring but thankyou @bru.tto (what a legacy, Russell 💔) @_alex_jackson @dianahenryfood @sabrinaghayour @5oclockapron @joe_woodhouse @jennychandleruk @thesedeliciousthings @kitchenbee @paulflynnchef @fuchsiadunlop @vonbremzen for the pleasure you’ve added to my kitchen (and bedroom tbh as I love to read cookbooks in bed) You can find the post on my Substack - link in bio. . . . #cookbooks #cookerybooks #giftguide #bookloverSo women do drink beer, strong beer at that. @jennychandleruk sneakily snatched this shot of me in what she dubbed my Mrs Thatcher cardigan at @the.portcullis annual Belgian beer festival yesterday along with fabulous landlady Dee. Love the fact one of the beers we were drinking was called Cuvée des Trolls. We also got to share the impossible-to-find Westvleteren which Paul goes over to Belgium to collect in person. Doubt they’ll have any left today but they should have some of the other amazing brews. Head down there if you’re local . . . #beer #belgianbeer #westvleteren #theportcullis #pub #drinklocal #clifton #bristolThere are pictures of Russell Norman all over instagram - everyone is so shocked at his sudden and untimely death. Everyone has a story to tell of his warmth and kindness. He lived and breathed hospitality. So here’s a taste of his genius, the £5 negroni he served at the wonderful @bru.tto. Not just ANY negroni of course - the gin was one he’d developed with Luca de Vita from Alla Testiere and the amaro Select rather than Campari. He could have charged at least double that for it but he didn’t. You sat down with it and all was right with the world. Except now it isn’t. He will be and already is so very much missed.
