One of the innovations at the Marks & Spencer wine tasting this week was a chocolate and wine tasting based on a Single Origin Tasting Box designed to help consumers explore chocolate pairings with different wines.

Two of the spectacular courses at the @penfolds lunch @trivetrestaurant today: grilled ribeye with herb purée and blackberry and pepper sauce with 1996 Grange and roast monkfish with girolles and red wine sauce with a 1962 - yes NINETEEN SIXTY-TWO - Kalimna Cabernet Shiraz. Amazing how the wines stood up to such deeply flavoured sauces devised with great skill by @jonny5lake without even having tasted the wines. Amazing meal #guest. . . . #steak #monkfish #redwine #redwinesauce #winepairing #foodandwine #penfolds #shiraz #grangeUnfortunately not my breakfast today but two stellar brekkies I had this week @foxinncorscombe (eggs bacon and bubble and squeak) and @parador_44 (the grilled chorizo and bacon roll with piquillo ketchup). Love a good hotel breakfast. . . . #breakfast #brunch #eggs #bacon #chorizo #spicyketchup #bubbleandsqueak #foxinncorscombe #parador44 #guestAmazing evening with this crew at the newly opened @parador_44 in Cardiff, a Spanish-inspired hotel which sits just above the brillliant @asador44. Absolutely love the guest bar and lounge which includes some very high quality drinks and snackage in the honesty bar in the form of tinned fish, olives, nuts and turron amongst other yummy things. Breakfasts are epic too. Well done @sherrymonster44 @natalie.isaac and @bar44tom - you’ve really created something quite special. Great to hang out with you @tvsandyclarke @alanoshea13 @matt.tebbutt and @lisa_tebbutt xx . . . #boutiquehotel #cardiff #parador44 #tinnedfish #wine #friends #guest #greatnightoutBeautiful platter of veal @foxinncorscombe last night served with courgettes and tomatoes. This is actually the most ethical way of eating veal - a bull calf reared by dairy farmers @hollismeadorganicdairy who also make these Camembert-style cheeses, using up every bit of the animal (note the impressive faggots). Simply served without heavy sauces by @markehix to go with @castlewoodwines’ Devon Minnow, an oaked Bacchus not unlike a white Bordeaux. I was invited along to talk about the pairings. Lovely people, lots of fun and great to finally meet @dorset_rachel. . . . #veal #cheese #englishsparklingwine #englishwineweek #markhix #foxinncorscombe #dorsetfood #eattheseasons #eatlocal Follow on Instagram
