Episode - 59 - Christmas Drinks With Demetri Walters MW In The Vineyard With Podcast

- Food
A few days before Christmas, I got together with my friend, Demetri Walters MW to hear what floats his Christmas drinks boat in 2023.
We talked about the obvious Christmas drinks most of us love, like Port, Sherry (not your Grandma’s) but we also talked about Madeira, Commanderia St. John (Cyprus) and Vinsanto (Greece).
Demetri is a renowned world expert on fortified wines, so we could talk about those for hours! I’m not sure if I can find any 1803 Sercial though.
However, when it comes to mulled wine, we were not singing from the same hymn sheet 😊
Maybe I have been drinking the wrong kind of mulled wine all these years.
Demetri shared with me his fantastic recipe for mulled wine which is published on my Patreon page (link below) and I’m going to give it a go this Christmas to see if my opinion can be changed!
Finally, there were some great questions from our Patreon friends:
Andrew Newbury asked about the best wine pairing for a traditional turkey.
Matt asked us to consider whether or not a Snowball is an acceptable aperitif.
To Ian’s mischievous question of ‘How much can we drink’, Demetri recommended listeners to ‘push the proverbial Christmas boat out’. His philosophical answer is a wise piece of advice!
