Which wines pair best with eggs?

Which wines pair best with eggs?

Posted on April 12 2020 at 07:12

Eggs are supposed to be one of the trickiest ingredients to pair with wine but I’ve never entirely got it myself. More to the point do you want to drink wine with eggs at breakfast or even brunch, the time you’re most likely to eat them?

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.

L’Escalier, Paris – A Hidden Gem

For me, the best thing about being a Parisienne (despite the fact I speak pitiful French and I never have any idea where I am) is the culture surrounding food.

Absolutely loving the idea of this squash baked with beer, cheese, cream and pretzels from @5oclockapron’s brilliant new book Home Cookery Year. Basically it’s a fondue baked in a squash WITH ADDED PRETZELS! What’s not to love? The perfect way to celebrate Oktoberfest at home - the recipe conveniently serves 6 so you’re within the legal limit 😂 There’s a link to the recipe in my biog. Photo by @samuelflamuel. . . . #squash #cheese #fondue #beer #homecooking #cookbook #homecookeryyear #oktoberfest #ruleofsixLunch of supreme decadence @bobbobricard today trying out the new menu with some RIDICULOUSLY good wines. Caviar and champagne, turbot coulibiac and grand cru Chablis, and flaming crème brûlée with Chateau d’Yquem (see Stories too) If I don’t get back to London for a while at least I’m leaving it in style. Oh, and the dumplings, of which I didn’t get a decent photo (though see Stories again) are divine. #guest (OBVIOUSLY). . . . #caviar #champagne #bollinger #domperignon #turbot #coulibiac #cremebrulee #chablis #sauternes #chateaudyquem #winepairing #foodandwineThe twinkly lights of the gorgeous new @noblerotsoho luring you in invitingly even at 6.45pm. And leaving, well fed and watered at 9pm didn’t seem that much of a hardship. Good for a long late lunch I reckon too. Review to follow ... . . . #noblerot #noblerotsoho #soho #greekstreet #newrestaurant #paidforitmyselfMust confess I’d never heard of a chicken ‘tulip’ but apparently it’s a chicken wing turned inside out! Slathered in a gorgeous sticky, spicy glaze flavoured with star anise, cinnamon, prunes and bacon and scattered with honey-roast pecans it was a great match for a vintage Madeira. One of the brilliant pairings I tried last week from @67pall_mall’s new Wine and Food book by @ronansayburn and @marcusverberne - click on the link in my biog for the lowdown. It would also make a great Christmas present for any winelover. (Can’t believe I’m even THINKING about Christmas yet! 😱) #guest . . . #chicken #chickenwings #glaze #madeira #sercial #wine #winepairing #winematching #wineandfood #instawine #winestagram #67pallmall Follow on Instagram
