My top ten memories from the Good Food Show London
1 The wine map based on the map of London underground, which shows you which grapes and varieties are similar so you can see that if you like a dry red or sweet white or sparkling rose which other wines you might also like.
2 Oz Clarke's Wine Guide. It comes out every two years and tells you which year wines from all round the world were best. Trevor Sharot who bought a signed copy uses it every time he goes into a wine shop or checks a wine to buy or research on line. Oz told us that his name Oz is a nickname because of the way he played cricket.
3 Wine tasting pairing wines with Green & Black's chocolate.
4 Wine tasting of Hardy's wines of Australia, comparing chardonnay wines. Chardonnay is used in Champagne but only wines from the Champagne area of France can use the name.
5 Wine tasting of three kinds of macaroons paired with three sweet wines. The Cordon Bleu school of cookery demonstrated how to make a macaroon. Then we tasted three macaroons, the first with foie gras and fig was the best. You could hardly taste the pate but the fig was heavenly.
6 Hattie's wines - the most amusing with the hats.
7 The gold wine containing gold.
