Our first ever blog. Why? I do think that people would be interested in what Xavier has to say on wine (as our customers are always asking) and also on how Paul comes up with his dishes and menu(his constant sketches and scrap pieces of paper with ingredients everywhere fascinate me). People ask why we are called Wine Workshop and Kitchen. This is pretty much why. The amount of work it takes to keep changing the 30 wines by the glass and also our Collectors list is huge. Paul doesn't use a recipe book or copy other menus etc...he looks at what the market is offering, whats in season and what he can afford and then works out how to put it all together.
So the 28-50 Wine Workshop and Kitchen blog will I hope be that. I will try to extract from Xavier his views on current wine trends, tastings he's been to (almost daily), competitions he's judging on, wines that are drinking well....and those that are not. I will try to document Pauls ideas and recipes from his initial ingredients list to his sketches of how it should be plated.
I myself have never written or published anything. Don't expect perfect English. I don't even know if this will be interesting to anyone other than myself (and maybe my mother who loves Pauls food and is constantly asking for recipes) but without giving it a go who knows. I mean anyone can blog...can't they?
