The summer menu at The Hogget went live today, and I've only got 2 more weeks to propose wine matches for it, before I become the Hogget's Californian wine advisor.
I'll start with the ever reliable Stump Jump from d'Arenberg, this GSM (Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre) compliments our Roasted Rump of Lamb so well it'll seem that the match was made in a foodie's paradise. This Rhone blend is well known for its pairing with Lamb, Roasted Red meats, Charcuterie, Duck and Roasted or Grilled Pork, so it'll work well with our Sunday Roasts.
We also have another great blend from the d'Arenberg stable, the popular Hermit Crab. Another classic Rhone combination of Marsanne and Viognier, this will provide an ideal accompanimant for seafood salads, shellfish served with lemon and white fish dishes. So feel free to drink it with our Lobster, Lemon Sole or Crayfish Salad.
And don't forget our house wines, the best selling St Etalon Sauvignon Blanc, a deliciously dry Vin de Pays d'Oc, and the rustic Lamura Nero d'Avola, the Sicilian equivalent of a New World Shiraz. Both of these great value wines have their aficionados, and will soon find a place in your favourites list.
Until next time...
Pete
