Inspired by a Rich Stein recipe Nigel cooked this for dinner last night but cut a few corners to make it more simple. It’s spicy and delicious.

3 weeks after moving in, we’re finally beginning to make some progress. The cardboard boxes are unpacked and the salon and tasting room are decorated.

Beautifully crafted artisanal wines made with practically zero intervention in the vineyard or winery. And what’s more, now we are practically neighbours!

We’re big fans of Arnaud Lambert’s wines. Last night we enjoyed a bottle of his top red,  Clos de l’Etoile 2010 which is a Cabernet Franc from the Saumur appellation. 

Here’s a sneaky peak at our new location close to Amboise. This will be the start point for our tours, tastings and wine experiences in 2019.

Feeling very old today! We showed pictures of our new home to friends and they mentioned that they liked the ‘tag’ on the wall

Dear friends of Le Tasting Room. We wish you a very happy new year 2019, full of success and happiness, surrounded by the ones you love. 

Think of something between a baked or roasted potato, crispy on top yet soft in the middle and oozing buttery juices. This is the Hasselback potato.

Smoked salmon is something that always makes an appearance on our table over the festive period. Here are a few wine pairing ideas for you.

For us Brits, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without mince pies. Perceived as something rather strange by the French that doesn’t deter me!

Growers in Montlouis have suffered greatly these past few years leaving many of them in a rather precarious position financially despite their best efforts.
