The best wine - and other drinks - to pair with macaroni cheese

The best wine to pair with macaroni cheese, or mac'n'cheese as our friends across the pond have it, depends how fancy - and how cheesy - your mac and cheese is.

AD: Do you like cheese? Silly question maybe - let’s rephrase that! Do you take the trouble to search out and try cheeses from small artisan cheesemakers? Well @pipersfarm does which is why I’ve worked with them to recommend drink matches for their lovely cheese boxes. I say drink cos they’re not all red wine which is what we instinctively reach for with cheese. Pipers stocks some great West Country ciders too so I’ve recommended the @wildingcider Ditcheat Hill with their Cheese Feast box (along with a delicious Malbec Un Jour au Lot 46) and @piltoncider’s rich, sweet keeved cider with the Big Cheeseboard as well as a brilliant Spanish red called Gran Cerdo aka Big Pig. (Good story - read the post which you’ll find through the link in my biog!). The other pairings in the post which basically tells you how to go about pairing wine and other drinks with cheese is a WHITE wine - trust me, it works - and a sensational sweet apple liqueur called Kingston Black which I’ve suggested with the indulgent Cheese Box for Two. You can find details of all the boxes on the Pipers website and their insta account @pipersfarm. Final thing - saving the best till last - there’s a £10 discount off the cheese boxes, drinks and in fact anything else on the Pipers site if you use the code FIONA at the checkout. If you’re planning ahead, which everyone seems to be doing this year, the Christmas shop is open now. . #cheese #cheeseboard #cheeseplatters #cheesebox #cheeseandwine #cheeseandcider #winepairings #naturalwine. Paid partnership with Pipers FarmSo very lucky to have got to see the @yayoikusama_ exhibition at the Tate Modern. Was it enhanced by tasting/drinking @veuveclicquot La Grand Dame first? Quite possibly but it really was spellbinding. Kusama’s story is extraordinary too. She’s lived in a psychiatric hospital since the 1970s and is still creating installations in her 90s. Sadly it’s booked solid until the exhibition closes in March but hopefully there’s a film about her out there somewhere. Certainly read about her. #guest . . . #art #installation #lights #mirrorrooms #yakoikusama #champagne #veuveclicquotThe sybaritic life of my pals @signejohansen’s and @gomungo’s cat @shiso_the_cat recovering from an evening’s prowling in her own little cat cocoon next to the radiator. #itsacatslife. . . . #cat #catsofinstagram@cheytdw and the @lidlgb team modelling their Lidl Xmas socks, trainers and even CHRISTMAS JUMPERS at the Christmas tasting today. You think no-one would buy Lidl Trainers? Think again! They’re flying off the shelves so fast that they’re selling on eBay for up to £60 (£12.99 original price) - at least that’s what they told me. Crazy, huh? .
