Take your summer dining up a notch as Tom offers some advice on food and wine pairing with fabulous offerings including an English Sparkling, an Australian white and a South African rosé for WineAlive’s ‘Summer Sipping Series’.
Starting his professional life in the hospitality industry and rising the ranks to become Sommelier at The Ivy, Tom learnt the craft of food and wine pairing to make the tastebuds sing. However, he is keen to let you know that you don’t need to work in a Michelin starred kitchen to find the perfect match. WineAlive has just launched its brand new YouTube channel, so click above to learn from Tom as he continues our Summer Sipping Series. Tom is in Wiltshire in the glorious surroundings of Pythouse Kitchen Garden as the chef brings out some simple yet delectable dishes to pair with a trio of wines perfect for your summer table.
