The best wine and beer pairings for mussels/moules

Some top food pairings for pear cider and perry

Pear cider - also known as perry - has a different taste from apple cider. It’s generally lighter, drier and more fragrant, a better match for delicate ingredients like fish.

Pairing food and Chablis

Pairing food and Chablis

Posted on August 7 2018 at 07:39

Despite the emphasis that winemakers place on the different crus or terroirs of Chablis three factors seem to me to influence a food match more than any other for most of the Chablis you’ll taste - the age of the wine, the vintage and the degree of oak influence, if any.

Last lunch in South Africa - and a really brilliant one @pierneefalamotte including one of the most creative cheese plates I’ve come across with goat cheesecake and beet ‘glass’ - a gigantic beetroot crisp. Oxheart tomato, tomato sorbet and watermelon salad (with little deep-fried cheesy balls) also sublime. #guest. . . . #tomato #watermelon #salad #cheesecake #beetroot #cheeseplate #pierneefalamotte #franschhoek #sawine #latergramAmazing day exploring some of South Africa’s oldest vineyards with @andremorgenthal of @oldvineproject. This is an old Chenin vineyard in Wellington Johan Kruger is using to make wine for @nakedwines and which has saved the vineyard from being grubbed up. . . . #vines #oldvines #vineyard #cheninblancA rare veggie moment @spekenbone - spiced corn on the corn with macadamia nuts and a very good bar snack of roast peppers and homemade butter. Totally love the meat here, especially the lamb, but must admit it came as a bit of a relief! . . . #corn #cornonthecob #peppers #vegetarian #plantbased #stellenboschReally love the Cape Dutch architecture in Stellenbosch. . . . #Stellenbosch #capedutch #eveninglight #travel #southafrica Follow on Instagram
