In this episode, we take a walk through Punta de Mita Mexico and talk about the Mexican wines I've been trying on my trip, what wines are being produced in Mexico and how to pair Mexican wine with Mexican food.

There is a lot more diversity in Mexico when it comes to local wines than most people might think or expect.  There is still room to grow and improve, but Mexican wines are worth knowing about!

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? What are YOUR favourite matches with curry? Any curry-related drinks disasters to relate?!

Let us know your thoughts on Instagram or Twitter. Or send us a voice message via Speakpipe.

For the 2022 Wines To Find Valentine's Episode, we really upped our game! Joined once again by our husbands, and challenged not only to each bring a wine but a food pairing  to go along. The result was 5 course food and wine tasting extraordinaire!

Without knowing what the other's were bringing, each of us ended up bringing a French wine, so this episode also doubles as a fantastic French wine tasting.  Listen to learn about each of our selections, how they paired with escargot, cheeses, charcuterie meats, a main course of filet and ribeye and topped off with créme brûlée and a gorgeous, well aged Sauternes.

Whether you're interested in food and wine pairing, French wines, or just a fun time, this episode has it all. Listen today for inspiration for your own special Valentine's celebration or next dinner party.
