When it comes to being a wine merchant our FAQs are invariably about matching wine with food so Peter’s food matching evenings at Caviste Overton have proved to be a fantastic hit with our customers.  Whilst Peter suggests the best pairings, he encourages guests to try all of the different combinations to see which ones work best.  This month’s theme was cheese, matching cheeses by themselves as well as in cooked dishes with seven different wines. The hits of the evening were Terres de Velle Bougogne Rouge with Baked Camembert, Gran Cardiel Verdejo/Viura with Feta salad made with cranberries, lambs lettuce and red onion, Buglioni Recioto with Stilton with top marks going to the fantastic new Gavroche Sauvignon Blanc, made by our top Loire wine maker Ludovic Chanson, paired with a soft Ewe’s cheese.  Our thanks to Tina Devereux for providing the wonderful  food that went so well with the wines.  Peter’s next food matching evening will be on the 5^th of April when he will be matching wines with a range of desserts.
