Matching Food and Wine: Fish Pie!

Wine Blast with Susie and Peter

This is not just any old fish pie. This is LUXURY fish pie. And we've got some properly luxuriant wines to match...
There's nothing worse than a dry, eggy, potato-drenched fish pie. Our version uses smoked fish, chunky prawns, mustard, cream and cheddar - so we need some seriously high octane wines.
No sense fooling around: this is rich white wine territory. One of our favourite styles of all. We choose two classic grape varieties that work really well across a range of styles - Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc - including a skin contact white (is it an orange wine?!) plus a leftfield white Cinsault just for fun.
We've pushed the boat out with the wines because this is a treat of a dish (a good option around Christmas time too, for what it's worth). Enjoy!
