Probably not the first time I’ve mentioned this easy salmon starter but did it again last week. Just skin, deseed and chop 2 or 3 tomatoes, season, add a teaspoon of olive oil and set to one side. Empty whole milk yoghurts from their glass pots, rinse and keep the pots. Season the yoghurt with salt, pepper and some shredded basil. Chop some smoked salmon into bite size pieces and start laying. First a layer of tomatoes, then yoghurt and then salmon. Repeat, finishing with the salmon. Dress with a basil leaf. So easy, light and a refreshing way to start a meal – great served with a Sancerre.

Salon des Vins de Loire 2013
I’m sure that most of you reading this are aware the 2102 vintage is being billed as a catastrophic one and will therefore be expecting to read of doom and gloom. Take heart, there are some great wines out there and while they may be in short supply as yields were seriously down, prices remain stable and growers optimistic for 2013.

Vintage 2014 in the Loire
The 2014 vintage is drawing to a close here in the Loire with the last passes through the vineyards of the Layon taking place over the weekend. Some Chenin was still hanging in the Layon on Sunday but I dare say with the break in the weather today and strong rain, this marks the end of the harvest for most people.
