ANOTHER BUSY NIGHT IN THE LIFE OF A WINE MERCHANT Last night I did a FOOD and WINE evening with Des and Amy at Flavours School of Cookery. I matched 7 wines to 7 dishes that Des created and gave a brief chat on why we taste wine, rather than just simply drink it, then we tried the wines with the food to see if why I matched those wines with that particular dish worked-thankfully they did! FOOD/WINE WAS:- 1/Pork 3 ways-quail scotch egg, sausage roll and pork pie matched with Pre Semele Sancerre Rose 2012 £14 2/Twice baked goats chees soufflé with parmesan and truffle veloute matched with Torre de Menegam Vinho Verde 2011 £11 3/Pan fried salmon with olive oil mash, scrumps and tartar sauce matched with Giustiniana Lugarara Gavi di Gavi 2011 £16.50 4/Chicken and black pudding ravioli with chicken veloute and fresh asparagus matched with Feurie La Madone 2011 £11 5/Lamb rump with brioche herb crust, pepper ratatouille with cauliflower puree matched with Chateaux Siuarac 2008 Lalande de Pomerol £23 6/Chocolate fondant with ice cream matched with Cazes Ambre 1996 Rivesaltes £14 1/2bt 7/Iced apple parfait with apple cider jelly and toffee apple matched with Ch St Roch Maury Rouge £15 50cl I went for a summery feel to the wines and matched a Rose with the pork and a Beaujolais with the chicken just to show that these work as well as the classic match of lamb with red Bordeaux. For further details of the next Food and Wine evening-it may even be cocktails and food please contact either myself of Des and Amy
