Decanter Magazine’s recipe in the June issue, a chicken in white wine with sage and tarragon from Raymond Blanc. Raymond recommends a Savagnin from the Jura, but we didn’t have any in the house so chose a Chapel Down Chardonnay instead. Worked perfectly.

A strange wine and food pairing if you follow the “accepted” advice, how can an award winning English wine, Nyetimber, be matched with two English meat pies, one lamb and one beef? Easy, match and drink according to your mood, just as my daughter did at the weekend for her 12th wedding anniversary taking their caravan to The Peak District. The full English!

Our accompaniment to this afternoon’s lunch of cheeses, all English, so it had to be and English wine. In this case our favourite English Pinot Noir, Gusbourne, Boot Hill 2018. Easily the equivalent of many a premier cru Pommard, particularly Les Rugiens. @francisgimblett @gusbourne_wine

The guide to our selections for “The full English”

A full English lunch of local cheeses, all 8 of them, plus locally grown tomatoes and cucumber with a local ham. So .... what wine would go with this @francisgimblett

“Elegant and refined” is how Flint Vineyard describe their Silex Blanc, a blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It’s the Chardonnay that shines through for me in this beautifully balanced wine from vines growing in a stony Flint soil in Norfolk, England. Not to be confused with the Silex from Pouilly Fume made from Sauvignon Blanc by Didier Dageneau.
