About a fortnight ago, another go at a stew mainly made of onion, tomato and saucisson sec. The latest of a run of maybe four of them. With the third being reported at reference 1. Taken with macaroni, green salad without dressing and a drop of Sancerre. More exactly, Sancerre La Moussière Alphonse Mellot 2018.
We liked the wine, and I am pleased to find today that the Mellots are a real family of vignerons, rather than the brand name of some wine combine. Not that there is anything wrong with combines and blending, a cheap route to a reliable & affordable product, but small and real is more cuddly.
Unusual cork, in that rather than being straight cork, or even reconstituted ground cork, it seemed to have been made from slices stuck together.
There probably would have been dessert, probably even a spot of Calvados, but I forget what it was. Possibly Lincolnshire Poacher taken with Jacob's Cream Crackers, the table water biscuits having been exhausted.
