Christmas: Main Event Wines
I have three favourite wine styles to pair with roasted turkey and chicken: creamy, buttery whites to compliment the meat itself; savoury, aged reds that mirror the flavour profile of the gravy; and zesty, fresh reds that contrast all these flavours - think cranberry sauce and how well that acidic tanginess breaks-up the heaviness of such meals.
Scrumptious Starter Wines
I really enjoy a starter as part of the Christmas day feast, often followed by a longer pause before the main meal itself. Shellfish is a firm favourite in our house; an elaborate prawn cocktail or crab mayonnaise flavoured with dill, capers and a dash of cayenne pepper.
Festive wines and nibbles
After the obligatory glass of festive fizz, the Christmas day guests arrive and what better way to continue the fun than offering a glass of something delicious paired with a nibble or two!
Festive Fizz
With the festive season fast approaching, I can’t wait to plan Christmas day drinks! In my opinion, any good Christmas day starts with a glass of fizz and a toast with friends and family.
