The best food pairings for Chianti and other Tuscan sangiovese

Posted on October 27 2020 at 08:26

There’s a lot of talk about how the wines of a region tend to match its food but that seems truer of Tuscany than almost anywhere else.

Steak and red wine sounds too obvious a pairing to highlight but sometimes it hits the spot so perfectly it’s worth being reminded there’s nothing better you can eat with a good bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon (unless you’re a vegetarian, obviously . . .)

Really is a case of ‘Phone for the fish knives Norman’ today. We must have at least half a dozen sets 🙄🐟 Clearing a house you’ve lived in for 30 years inheriting everyone else’s belongings along the way is really quite overwhelming. What to keep, what to sell and what to leave …In the end it comes down to things for which we have an emotional attachment or remember as children. Mainly pictures, books and jewellery - nothing much of value, or is there? And photos, endless photos. They’re really the best bit. . . . #cutlery #knives #antiques #packingup #houseclearance #memoriesNot really connected but gorgeous apples on display @theartshopandchapel and gorgeous ciders and wine from @olivers_cider and @tillinghamwines at yesterday’s natural fermentation workshop @afoodfestival with @petebrownbeer. The ciders were a collab with @millsbrewing - the UK drinks scene is so exciting right now. . . . #cider #beer #naturalwine #naturalfermentation #apples #oliverscider #tillinghamwines #abergavennyfoodfestivalThere is festival food and there is @baxcooka of @wearewildartichokes festival food. The legendary Friday night speakers dinner morphed into a ‘Friday night fry- up’ this year with salt cod fritters and aioli. pigs head croquettes with gribiche and - best of all - deep fried pasta with veal, leeks and prosciutto. (Swoon) And loads of other delicious stuff as well, cos …. Jane. @afoodfestival good to be back. . . . #friedfood #fritters #croquettes #croquetas #deepfried #friedpasta #partyfood #abergavennyfoodfestival #abergavennyI can see why people sometimes snort with derision when I tell them how hard I work! Today kicked off with 20+ y.o. magnums of Côte Rôtie and Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf du Pape at the @yappaboutwine Rhône tasting followed by the @champagnegossetofficiel Matchmakers competition (which was won by the talented team @fischersbaslow who cleverly discovered that caramelised celeriac is a genius match for a Blanc de Blancs - along with scallops) You’re not remotely sympathetic? Can’t blame you really but not *every* day is like this. Honest! . . . #coterotie #chateauneufdupape #rhone #yapp #champagne #gosset #winepairing #wineandfood #wine #instawine #winestagramv Follow on Instagram
