In search of the perfect steak wine

In search of the perfect steak wine

This report on a steak and wine tasting I did at Hawksmoor Spitalfields back in 2007 is now over 10 years old but the advice still holds good. It's quite a long read though so for more concise steak and wine matching advice head to The Best Wine Pairings for Steak.

In the north of Scotland, at least the weather is normal - reassuringly cool, grey and cloudy. The view from my friends’ house in Lochinver and some of the dazzling scenery on the way up. . . . #scotland #westcoast #sea #landscape #greyskies #scottishroadtrip #lochinverSpectacular 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 #scottishroadtrip Follow on Instagram
