Loire wine and food matching with Fiona Beckett

by Jeanne Horak on November 2, 2014 9 Comments in Matching food & wine

LoireTastingTitle

It is a fact universally acknowledged that the pairing of food and wine has generated more column inches of staggering pomposity, and ignited more heated debate than almost any other vinous topic on earth. As Sid Goldstein says in The Wine Lover’s Cookbook: “The pairing of food and wine is a complex and highly inexact science. It is fraught with outmoded rules and a propensity for generalizations.” – and ain’t that the truth? How often have you been out to dinner with friends where you all want to share a bottle of wine but two are having steak and two are having fish, and the wine buff amongst you is holding forth about how you can’t share a bottle as this fish dish must have a Chardonnay; that chicken dish must have a Viognier, and the pork dish positively demands a Pinot Noir. How refreshing, then, to hear somebody who really knows their stuff in food and wine matching say that this is all old fashioned and that you should experiment to find the wine that provides the best match for your palate.

The somebody in question is Fiona Beckett, wine writer for The Guardian as well as cookery writer, contributing editor to Decanter magazine, and owner of a number of websites, including  Matching Food & Wine.  Which makes her eminently well qualified to lead the discussion when Vins de Loire hosted an evening matching Touraine wines with dishes prepared by the Andaz Hotel.  After welcoming a gaggle of food and wine bloggers including Tom, Bronwyn, Danny and Rejina , Fiona made some very sensible general remarks about wine tasting, including the fact to write sensibly about wine and to match it with food, we need to develop a memory bank of what various wines made from different grapes and in different regions taste like, so that we can make an informed suggestion as to what might pair well with a particular dish or flavours. She also said that there is no such thing as a rigid system of “this wine with that food” – each dish needs to be evaluated in terms of its weight, flavours and piquancy and then a decision can be taken as to the wine that might best complement these.  So although it is silly to say that all chicken should always be matched with red wine, it is quite sensible to say that this heavy, creamy chicken dish might pair well with a red but only if it is a lighter red.

Formalities out of the way, we got down to the business of tasting.  The wines were brought out in pairs together with a small portion of a dish so that we could compare how they matched.First up was a plate of delicious crostini with goat’s cheese and broad beans.  This was brought out with a 2012 Tesco Finest, Les Chaumes (Sauvignon Blanc)  and a 2012 Lionel Gosseaume, Les Marcottes (Gamay Noir).   The Sauvignon Blanc had a crisp, lemongrassy nose and fresh green pepper notes on the palate, but I thought it lacked backbone to stand up to the creamy goat’s cheese.  The Gamay, on the other hand had a lovely and typical nose of strawberries and a deliciously raspberry palate but with a nicely balanced acidity.  Although one’s normal instinct would have been to paid the crostini with a white wine, I preferred the Gamay in this case as it was not so overwhelmed by the creaminess of the cheese.

The next dish was a Vietnamese prawn and rice noodle salad with lemon juice and coriander – and lemon juice is not known for being an excellent match for wines, so I was interested to see how this might work out.  The wines that were brought out to accompany the dish were a 2012 Thierry Delaunay Sauvignon Blanc  which had a deliciously gooseberry-ish nose and palate; and a 2011 Morrison’s Touraine Sauvignon Blanc.  Perhaps it was the extra year of age on the latter that gave it a less fruity but more substantial palate.  I liked the mouth-watering acidity and tart green apple flavours, but less so the slightly bottle-aged notes, and in all, I thought that the acidity of the wine together with the acidity of the lemon juice dressing was a bit too much.

 

AndazPrawnSalad

 

This was followed by more fish – this time sole goujons and chips with tartare sauce and lemon wedges.  To match with this, we were given a 2012 Calvet Sauvignon Blanc with a typical Sauvignon nose of gooseberries and cut grass.  On the palate it was zesty, lemony and minerally, and was refreshingly palate cleansing after a mouthful of fried fish and potatoes.  The other wine was a 2011 Domaine Guenault, Famille Bougrier (Sauvignon Blanc)  which was older and more deeply coloured, as well as having a fuller mouthfeel and more complex flavours.  If I were sipping the wines as an aperitif, I would have preferred this one, but with the food, I thought the food was too bland to match this.

 

AndazSoleGoujons

 

Yet more fish to come in the next course which consisted of  rare seared tuna with a sesame crust and soy sauce.  Tuna is always one of those on-the-cusp dishes when it comes to choosing wine.  Yes, it is fish, but it is as red as red meat, so what to do?  We were given a choice of the 2012 Domaine Pre Baron Sauvignon Blanc 2012 another fresh and zingy wine with good mouth watering acidity.  But I am not sure that all the acidity worked with the rounded soy flavours and the toasty sesame seeds.  I thought our other wine was a better match:   a 2010 Domaine Guy Allion, Les Quatre Pierres (Cabernet Franc).  It was a lovely wine in its own right with that characteristic intriguing combination of juicy fruitiness (think dark cherries) and an almost truffly earthiness and soft, supple tannins.  This was one of my favourite matches of the evening, with the juicy, generous flavours of the wine complementing the full-flavoured fish.

Our final savoury course of the evening consisted of red meat: smoked venison with cider-pickled mushrooms and a red wine jus.  Both wines paired with this were red.  There was the same 2010 Domaine Guy Allion, Les Quatre Pierres Cabernet Franc as above; and a 2010 Henry Marionnet, Vinifera (Côt, another name for Malbec).  I liked the Les Quatre Pierres as a match with the dish, although it was probably not quite substantial enough to stand up to the robust smoked venison.  The Côt, on the other hand was everything a Malbec should be – a very deep ruby colour and a jammy nose with hints of vanilla and graphite. The depth of fruit and the structured tannins were more than a match for both the smoky meat and the cider-pickled mushrooms.  Another excellent pairing.

Our final dish of the night was dessert, and we had been told from the start of the evening that there was a little surprise in store for us when we got to dessert.  The surprise turned out to be that we would not be served dessert – we would make our own!  First, though, we were given a taste of the wine that had to match our dessert: a Domaine Paget Sparkling rosé NV, made in the traditional Champagne method from the little-known native Grolleau grape.  It has a nose like a summer afternoon, full of lush raspberries and peaches. On the palate it had a lovely fine mousse and is just off-dry, despite its fruit salady notes – a very pleasant sparkler with a gorgeous pink colour.  In order for us to put together our dessert, we were then let loose on a table containing a number of basics:  shortbread, mascarpone, chantilly cream, chocolate sauce, peach slices, raspberries, strawberries and meringues.  The best matches were berry-based: a strawberry shortcake confection that I tried was good.  But the chocolate sauce and the meringues were too sweet and made the wine seem tart and astringent by comparison.

It’s not often you get the chance to try a single dish alongside two different wines to see which one is the better match, so this was a very interesting and valuable exercise for those wanting to fine-tune their matching skills.  Fiona is an engaging speaker, and the Loire valley produces some great food wines – so all in all a very successful evening that left me feeling inspired to try out some more unusual food and wine pairings at home. Thanks to Sopexa, Vins de Loire and Fiona Beckett for such a great event, and for another perspective on the evening, have a look at Tom the Cambridge Wine Blogger‘s post.

    The Touraine is one of my very favourite areas of France and Pete and I have visited many times. We’ve explored many of the wine areas in this region of the Loire, our favourite being St Nicholas de Bourgeuil, where we have been visiting one particular vineyard for gosh, 15+ years now. Luckily for Pete, I’m not a wine drinker (with the exception of dessert wine) so I drive and he can enjoy wine to his heart’s content!

    So interesting to compare one dish with two wines. Why so many SBs though? Huge fan of Fiona – so eloquent and interesting about many topics.

    Wow what a fascinating evening Jeanne, i’d love to try something like that! The thought of trying small tasting samples of a selection of food and wine is very very appealing indeed. I’m going to send this blog post to my friend who’s doing a wine course at the moment, as i’m sure she’d find it really interesting too 🙂

    I’ve learned loads from reading this. I am far from an expert when it comes to wine and I love the sound of a wine and food matching event. Lovely pics as always, too.

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above.

Would you believe me if I told you this is NOT a p Would you believe me if I told you this is NOT a picture of a Moorish palace, a castle or a cathedral? And that you can get to it from central London in under an hour?

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣
*NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta ch *NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
