This evening we step back from wine regions to instead consider why certain foods and wines work together so well (and which combinations are less effective). Our five-course menu will include delicate fish, spicy dishes, a robust beef course, plus a selection of different cheeses and dessert. This will give us the opportunity to explore the key principles of food and wine matching, looking at the effect of salt, sweet, acidity, bitterness and umami on wine. We will also consider ideas such as weight and texture, and the effect of spice as well. For those wanting a thorough introduction into what wine to pair with what food, this is the perfect evening – bring your appetite. Hosted by Barbara Drew MW, Wine & Spirits Education Specialist.
