Wine on tap at Galvin Brasserie – it’s better than it seems

Kerry Teakle October 24, 2017 October 22, 2017
Wine on tap - good in so many ways

When I told friends I was going for ‘wine on tap’, it was met with a variety of responses, and none of them particularly positive but when you know the benefits, I think you too could be persuaded to give it a try.

Wine Events Scotland – The Big Debate – Supermarkets vs The Independents

Kerry Teakle January 24, 2017 January 23, 2017
Wine Events Scotland hold monthly wine events in Edinburgh

Whilst I respect those that undertake a month of martyrdom or even longer, especially when it’s for a good cause such as Cancer Research and do ‘Dry January’, I’ll put it out there that I never do. No Dry January for Kerry I don’t think there’s any point in denying…

Fall in love again with Loire wines

Bread Baker Danielle August 13, 2015 August 28, 2015
Rose d'Anjou - Such a gorgeous colour

I grew rather fond of the Loire when I lived in France last year. In the area I lived in, not far from Gien, the river was wide and lazy and quite wild. There were not many towns along its banks. When I went into the bakery very early the…

Delicious pasta

The wonderful world of food blogging brings with it PR opportunities of various types. Sometimes new products are looking for people to give them a road test, sometimes restaurants invite you along to launch events and at other times there are invitations to review places free of charge. Few of…

Le Di-Vin: sharing food and drink with friends

Caroline von Schmalensee April 10, 2014 October 8, 2016
Jesus de Pays Basque and Italian ham with herbs.

Le Di-Vin wine bar sits next to and behind La P’tite Folie in Tudor House and is part of the same family. With its double-height ceiling and muted colour scheme, it’s an elegant space. I celebrated a birthday there a couple of years ago, on the mezzanine in the back.…

OzCabaret Sparkles – Champagne Cabaret at The Hispaniola, Edinburgh

Caroline von Schmalensee August 19, 2013 April 25, 2017
Katrina Kirkwood, Jessie Jean and SArah Regan, OzCabaret's talented songeliers.

Would I like to go to a cabaret and sparkling wine? Absolutely. August in Edinburgh is special. The many different festivals bring in a lot of people and areas that are quiet the rest of the year turn in to beer gardens and open-air restaurants. Performers from all over the…

Mulled wine the Swedish way (glögg)

Caroline von Schmalensee December 20, 2012 April 25, 2017
It's not tiny cup, seen close up.

To me, the scent of Christmas is fir needles, saffron and spiced wine. The Swedish version of mulled wine is a little sweeter and more highly spiced than the British version, but equally yummy. It is served in small cups or glasses as an aperitif, or après ski, with chopped almonds…

Glasses shaped to make your wine better

Bread Baker Danielle September 30, 2012 January 21, 2013
Georg Riedel decanting wine

How on earth can a wine glass make wine taste better? I went along to Edinburgh’s Assembly Rooms to find out. One of the most important facts I learnt when I spent a week at The Glenrothes distillery learning to make whisky, was not about the whisky at all, but…
