Pairings | Whisky and food matching

Why don’t more wine tastings offer food pairing?

Why don’t more wine tastings offer food pairing?

Posted on October 9 2012 at 08:03

It struck me as slightly ironic that the best example of a food offering I’ve seen at a consumer tasting recently was the Food Pairing Room at this weekend’s Whisky Show - whisky being the last drink that many people would think of pairing with food.

Not really connected but gorgeous apples on display @theartshopandchapel and gorgeous ciders and wine from @olivers_cider and @tillinghamwines at yesterday’s natural fermentation workshop @afoodfestival with @petebrownbeer. The ciders were a collab with @millsbrewing - the UK drinks scene is so exciting right now. . . . #cider #beer #naturalwine #naturalfermentation #apples #oliverscider #tillinghamwines #abergavennyfoodfestivalThere is festival food and there is @baxcooka of @wearewildartichokes festival food. The legendary Friday night speakers dinner morphed into a ‘Friday night fry- up’ this year with salt cod fritters and aioli. pigs head croquettes with gribiche and - best of all - deep fried pasta with veal, leeks and prosciutto. (Swoon) And loads of other delicious stuff as well, cos …. Jane. @afoodfestival good to be back. . . . #friedfood #fritters #croquettes #croquetas #deepfried #friedpasta #partyfood #abergavennyfoodfestival #abergavennyI can see why people sometimes snort with derision when I tell them how hard I work! Today kicked off with 20+ y.o. magnums of Côte Rôtie and Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf du Pape at the @yappaboutwine Rhône tasting followed by the @champagnegossetofficiel Matchmakers competition (which was won by the talented team @fischersbaslow who cleverly discovered that caramelised celeriac is a genius match for a Blanc de Blancs - along with scallops) You’re not remotely sympathetic? Can’t blame you really but not *every* day is like this. Honest! . . . #coterotie #chateauneufdupape #rhone #yapp #champagne #gosset #winepairing #wineandfood #wine #instawine #winestagramvHad the dreamiest place to stay for @ludlowfood at @dinhamweirhouse which is just below Ludlow castle (compd but I did work for my accommodation!). Unfortunately it’s only let as a whole house normally but if you want to go somewhere with a group of friends to celebrate a wedding or a big birthday I can’t think of a better place. (It has its own kitchen - see also @jennychandleruk and @5oclockapron’s feeds) Although I had a blast at the festival - my first time - I can’t wait to go back to Ludlow out of season and explore when the streets are quieter. It’s such a stunning place. . . . #foodfestival #ludlowfoodfestival #dinhamweirhouse #view #river #ludlow #accommodation #ukbreaks Follow on Instagram
