The 10 trickiest foods to pair with wine

Posted on May 9 2016 at 07:57

Look up any guide to food and wine matching and you’ll find a list of foods that are regarded as anathema to wine. I’ve done it myself but have come to the conclusion recently that the problems are overstated.

Spectacular tour of @the_macallan including history, stills, oak treatment (they select and age their own wood and ship it out to Jerez) and the chance to taste some rare drams including this mindblowing 30 y o although I also really liked the Home Collection which they have exclusively on taste at the bar if you’re visiting the distillery this weekend) More on stories. . . . #whisky #maltwhisky #themacallan #whiskystills #sherrycask #30yo #guest #scottishroadtripHeading steadily north. A wheat field - or is it barley? - that might have tempted T May, the bridge at Dunkeld and the River Tay. Surprisingly hot after Fife which was only 18/19 C. Here it’s 25 and muggy though I realise that’s NOTHING compared with further south. PS yes it is barley apparently #scottishroadtrip . . . #scottishcountryside #wheatfield #river #dunkeld #rivertay #perthshireManaged to order practically ALL the starters at the lovely @kinneucharinn. The stuffed courgette flowers with ricotta and honey were particularly good as was the pickled mackerel salad. Pitch perfect seasoning on the crab too. Yammering so much I gave up taking photos but can also recommend the squid, hake with aioli and milk bun with fig leaf ice cream i snitched from my neighbours’ plates (not the ones on adjoining tables obvs) How come I’ve never heard about East Neuk? The Scots cleverly keep it to themselves. . . . #courgetteflowers #zucchiniblossoms #mackerel #crabontoast #scottishrestaurant #kinneucharinn #eastneuk #instafood #foodstagram #scottishroadtripAnnual festival treat with my son @wjjbeckett @hawksmooredinburgh. (Steak was consumed obvs but also oysters, crab, scampi and lobster and chips.) Also brilliant standup comedy (on the Fringe, not Will though he could) bookshop browsing and a LOT of walking and talking. Perfect 48 hours, v happy - and proud - mum #guest . . . #hawksmoor #edinburgh #lobster #seafood #wine #viñatondonia #fringefestival #willbeckett #motherandson Follow on Instagram
