Riesling was a good #foodwinecombo with my chicken, leek, pea and oregano risotto with asparagus. Asparagus can be one of those foods (like mushroom and eggs) which can be difficult to pair with wine but this Riesling from New Zealand worked well. The rounded texture of the wine enhanced the richness of the rice in the risotto and the flavours of the food shone. Recipe for the risotto @theingredientsnut (my easy “cheats” risotto that avoids all that stirring). Cheers!! Enjoy

I know it is only the beginning of October but I have already decided on my red wine for Christmas Day. And I’ve started buying Christmas presents. Should I be impressed with myself or worried? I do love the build up to Christmas 😊 🎄 #christmasplanning #christmasdaywine

These grapes will now be making (hopefully!) delicious wine. #entredeuxmers #frenchwine #grapes #vine

The reds are poured, just the whites to come and then the Masterclass can begin @wset_school_london. Exciting.

Walking the wonderful and wet streets of London. Unfortunately not paved with gold (for those who know their children’s stories). Looking forward to this evening’s wine tasting @wset_school_london

WSET Diploma studies fully underway. Today I am focusing on pests and diseases. It is fascinating to see how many things wineries have to watch out for in the challenge of growing the best grapes. Not easy. Must be so satisfying (and a relief) when all the hard work results in a good harvest. Particularly interesting reading this having visited organic and biodynamic wineries this summer #latourdechollet and @chateaufeely and heard from Kirstie and Caro respectively about the challenges of growing without the reliance on chemicals. @wsetglobal @wset_school_london #diplomainwine #studyinghard #winestudy
