Matching Food and Wine: Curry!

Curry. We all love it. So what's the best wine to drink with it?! Here be answers. As well as a bit of chomping (sorry), mention of whipping (no idea how that came up) and of course delicious wines all in the mix. This is a short-form Live episode, the first in our food-and-wine matching mini-series brought to you in association with Wine Club by Majestic. It's also available in video format so if you'd like to see us in action, check out our YouTube channel: Susie & Peter On Wine . The curry in question is a very simple and very delicious chicken tikka massala . So we're finding wines to match the aromatic spices, tangy tomatoes and creamy richness. We come up with a classic match, a slightly left-field match and then a wild card option. All the way explaining our thinking so if you can't get hold of these exact wines, you can no doubt find similar versions to suit you. The recipe we're using is inspired by our friend and brilliant food writer Jo Pratt , developed as part of our What Food What Wine competition. It's available, together with all links, photos, wines and more details from the show, here: Show notes for Wine Blast S3 E26: Matching Food and Wine: Curry! Remember: fight heat with sweet! Also: it's not always the wines that taste the best on their own that end up going best with the food. Do send us in your thoughts, we'd love to hear from you! What do you think of our choices?
