The best wine pairings for partridge

The best wine pairings for partridge

Posted on September 27 2020 at 06:07

I sometimes think partridge is my favourite game bird - less full-on and ‘gamey’ than pheasant, more subtle and delicate than chicken. But what wine should you drink with it?

Roast chicken with chardonnay - what’s new about that I hear you say? Well, nothing, obviously but imagine some of the BEST chicken you’ve ever eaten and a GREAT chardonnay - in this case the 2005 Stephane Tissot Arbois chardonnay Les Graviers - and it becomes one of those stellar wine pairings you dream about.

I love the idea of cooking everything in one dish (quick, easy, no washing up!) so Sue Quinn's book Roasting Tray Magic is right up my street.

First lockdown was all about sourdough, remember? This time I’m working my way through different styles of bread which is a lot more fun. The other day it was Nigella’s old-fashioned sandwich loaf which is ace. This one’s a crispy bacon and cheddar soda bread from the @cotswoldflour website which truly couldn’t be easier and is also deliciously cheesy. And bacony obvs. I suggest you treat yourself to one this week. (I’m actually waiting for some fresh yeast to come in so I can make a baguette. Any of you tried making them or have a favourite recipe?) . . . #bread #sodabread #bacon #cheddar #cheese #cheesebread #homebaking #notsponsored #notsourdoughI don’t often post pix of myself but I like this one taken by a pal a couple of months ago during lockdown#2. Not least cos it’s unposed and attractively blurry thus helping to mitigate wrinkles, lack of makeup and #bedheadhair. Good to be reminded of my more cheerful lockdown moments too. Light at the end of the tunnel and all that. Hopefully 🤞 . Thank you all for your kind and lovely comments xxx . . . #self #portrait #lockdown #home #lightbulbmomentFinding it a bit challenging to stick to your daily walk during this wintry weather? What you need is a hipflask and something delicious to put in it. I’ve suggested six of the best drinks in my latest post (click on the link in my biog). I also love the actual flasks - there are some suggestions in the article but you can also see a couple from @janbarboglio and @aperture_view in the next couple of shots. (The photo above is by Vitezslav Malina) Do any of you have a hipflask and what do you like to put in it? . . . #hipflask #spirits #liqueurs #winterwalks #winterIf you need a little comfort at the moment - and who doesn’t? - make sure to go in for our comp this month to win a fantastic @hawksmoorrestaurants steak box. It includes a porterhouse steak for two, @chefmattbrown’s awesome oven chips, a sticky toffee pudding and clotted cream, a Hawksmoor martini and a bottle of Italian red wine. Now I know that means it’s not meat-free, carb-free or alcohol-free and therefore UTTERLY unsuitable for those of you who have set yourselves stern new year’s resolutions to eat more healthily but with life the way it is at the moment we could all do with a bit of spoiling. Click the link in my biog to find out how to enter - UK residents over 18 only I’m afraid. T&Cs apply. Closing date Jan 20th. . . . #steak #steakbox #meat #hawksmoor #hawksmoorathome #stickytoffeepudding #competition #prize Follow on Instagram
