Food and wine matching at the Tate
If you want to combine some stimulating food and wine matching with the experience of eating in one of the most beautiful restaurant dining rooms in London, The Rex Whistler Restaurant at the Tate Britain, try out one of their monthly Late at Tate Friday night dinners. The pairings are devised by the Tate's very accomplished young sommelier Hamish Anderson who writes regularly for the Daily Telegraph.
For the forthcoming dinner on September 7th the menu is:
- Native Colchester oysters
Muscadet sur lie, Les Gras Moutons 2004, Domaine C Branger - Pan-fried John Dory with crushed white beans and a fennel reduction
Riesling Unplugged 2006, Weingut Tesch, Nahe, Germany - Roasted suckling pig with Chalk Valley watercress and caramelized apples
Pommard Vignots 1999, Nicolas Potel, Cote de Beaune - Gubbeens with shaved pear salad
Mondeuse 2003, Domaine Gilles Berlioz, Vin de Savoie - Chocolate and hazelnut millefeuille
