Viognier (pronounced vee-on-yee-ay) is a rich, exotically fruity white wine, sometimes achieving quite high levels of alcohol so what are the ideal foods to pair with it?

Scallops are some of the most delicious seafood around and some of the most flattering to a serious white wine. There’s one grape variety that will almost always see you right but also some other options

Which foods pair best with whisky?

I’ve been a bit of a sceptic in the past about pairing food with whisky. Not that there aren’t some great combinations but I find it hard to sustain for more than one dish.

This brown butter pumpkin with taleggio sauce, hazelnuts and honey @sonnystores yesterday has to be a strong candidate for my starter of the year as is the chocolate and salted caramel tart one of my best desserts. Great sausage ragu and (entirely superfluous but delicious) pizzetta. Thanks @essexeating for boosting this week’s already stratospheric carb and calorie count 🙄 All this - pizzetta apart - for a bargainous £25 a head (set lunch deal) Undoubtedly one of the best restaurants in Bristol. . . . #squash #pumpkin #taleggio #pasta #ragu #chocolatetart #pizzetta #sonnystores #southville #bristolfood #eatlocalSo many good things to eat @bouchonracine it’s very hard to choose what to go for. I nabbed the last tête de veau but then had major food envy about @signesjohansen’s skate in brown butter. Chicken liver pâté also spot on. Great service too. Almost as if the original Racine had never closed. . . . #skate #tetedeveau #chickenliverpate #bouchonracine #henryharris #farringdon #londonrestaurantsHave been dying to make @lickedspoon’s potato, cheddar and spring onion rolls since I got her book Notes from a Small Kitchen Island and they turned out to be the perfect tree decorating snack. . . . #sausagerolls #cheesepies #pastry #pieMagnificently large pork chop @guntonarms last night cooked over an open fire. Properly fatty and deliciously smoky. Don’t often order meat in a restaurant these days but that was irresistible. Could have fed two (well, maybe not …) . . . #pork #porkchop #grill #guntonarms #norfolk Follow on Instagram
