Cider vs Wine & Food Matching Dinner, The Thatchers Arms, Mount Bures 2nd February 2013
Organised by Mitch Adams, landlord of The Thatchers Arms, and DrinkBritain.com's Susanna Forbes, wine was championed by Harpers Sommelier of the Year and River Café sommelier, Emily O'Hare, and Dan Probert, manager of Adnams' Cellar & Kitchen store in Holt, Norfolk, while eighth-generation cider-maker, Aspall's Henry Chevallier-Guild, joined with Beer Writer of the Year, and author of the forthcoming World's Best Cider book, Pete Brown, to cheer for cider.
In Ready, Steady, Cook style, diners were asked to vote after each course, not on the drink itself, but on how well the drink went with the dish, with green cards for cider and red for wine.
