Lunch of champions #TheBigGreenShed
Yummy crispy chicken caesar bap & a salt beef deli sandwich (wow, a thing of beauty). All washed down with a couple of glasses of #Draaiboekwine #Onskuld Chardonnay.

Tonight’s #saturdaynightred is a wee Bourgogne Pinot Noir from one of my favourites, Mark Haisma.
A tasty red that worked well with a selection of chicken bits on the bbq.
This is the first of his 2019s I’ve opened and it tasted fruity & fresh. Yum ☺️
I’ve been buying Mark’s wines since his 2013 vintage and I think this is the year to finally crack into some of his older red wines that I’ve patiently left sleeping - watch this space 🍷

I’ve opened this wonderful Sugrue South Downs #cuvéeboz in anticipation of today’s IREvENG match.
I think Dermot himself would agree it’s a fitting accompaniment 😆🍾🥂🏉☘️

How all Saturday nights should be…

The sign of great quality meat is how little you need to do with it when cooking, & quality doesn’t get much better than Peter Hannan salt-aged côte de beouf.
A pinch of seasoning was all it got before going outside onto the weber, 9 mins a side then 9 mins resting.
So simple & cooked to perfection, served with garlicky green beans & shallots and a glass or two of 2016 #Guigal Saint-Joseph.

Well this is a total treat - that boy Dermot Sugrue knows what he’s doing with #EnglishSparklingWine, that’s for sure.
Sugrue #TheTroubleWithDreams 2015 is a real delight. Wonderful mousse & texture. Glad that I’ve got another one in the cellar ☺️

My last bottle of #Vacheron 2012 Sancerre, to accompany dinner of pan-fried haddock, baby boiled potatoes with chive & tarragon butter, green beans with shallots and some lemon dill & tarragon sauce served on the side.
Simply delicious all round.
