Can You Help With Wine Matching?
We are hosting a New Year’s Eve dinner party for eight guests, two of whom are vegetarian. I have developed the following menu:
French Onion Soup
Tian of Smoked Salmon and Avocado
Sauteed Field Mushrooms and Brie En Croute – with Port and Redcurrant Jus
Chocolate Torte and/or Traditional Trifle
Stilton and Home Made Walnut Bread with Grapes
I am confident with the food, but less so with the wines, but my plan is as follows:
Champagne (Vintage Pol Roger) with the Canapes and keep the Champagne flowing through the soup and smoked salmon
Pinot Grigio with the Mushrooms and Brie En Croute – I am less happy with this, I think it is a safe, but dull, choice. Any better suggestions?
Muscat de Beaumes de Venice with the Torte
Finally I have a good bottle of Dows for the Stilton.
What do our resident wine experts think of the wine pairing? I am genuinly happy to take advice and recommendations. Thank you.
Smoked Salmon is not vegetarian.
French onion soup is tradtionally made with beef stock, which is not vegetarian.
The bubbly with the two non-vegetarian first courses should be fine. Because vintage brut Pol Roger is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it should hold up to both courses.
Pinot gris is not a great choice with the mushroom dish. Personally, I’d do a nice red burgundy, premiere or grand cru.
The Muscat could go either way. If it’s super light or super sweet, you could have a problem. Sweet wine/sweet dessert can be very difficult to work with. And if it’s really a light wine like all the descriptions I’v found, it may not stand up to dense chocolate or a trifle. I’d tend to serve the chocolate and serve port during both final courses. Or, I’d look for a really nice Sauternes to serve with the Trifle. Myrat is reasonably priced if you can find it and the splits of Rieussec and Lafaurie-Peyraguey are usually excellent.
Port and the Stilton should be wonderful.
Vintage Fashion-Return Of The Retro
Retro Fashion is back and how! This is an age where we see the return of the retro fashion era. Gone are the days of modern clothes and accessories because according to the fashion gurus, the buzz is that Vintage is the “in” thing in the fashion circuit. With the “old is new” setting in people are busy giving their wardrobes a retro make-over.
Vintage fashion is the fashion that people used to follow in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Everything about that age was big and bright and way over-the-top. In-order to go for the hard-core retro look you first need to choose a particular era because each era had a distinct fashion. You can even go for the all-in-one retro look by picking prominent fashions from each period and combining them to get a revolutionary look.
You can also create your own fashion trends by mixing and matching fashion pieces from the past and the present. This will give a personalized image to your fashion sense. You can even choose to include the one item which stood out in every era into your closet because this will prevent you from overdoing it.
Some of the famous style-statements from the past are listed below:
- Tweed Jacket from the 1950s.
- Polyester-leisure suit from the very famous disco numbers.
- Psychedelic patterns or hippie designs.
- Butterfly-collared button down shirts.
- Bell-bottom polyester pants fitted at the waist.
- Unisex platform shoes.
- Peasant skirts
- Grunge clothing or rock-star fashion
- Tuxedos from the 70s
- Bold flapper dresses.
- Elaborate hairstyles
- Winged eyeliners very bold
- Heavy-duty accessories.
The retro fashion was larger than life. It is cyclic hence it keeps coming back. Retro fashion is a great way of paying homage to the memories, incidents, or people of the past. It is almost safe to say that according to the fashion guide retro is the new modern.
