THE WINE CONNOISSEUR by Simon Parkinson Simon Parkinson of Whitmore & White West Kirby - an award winning independent wine merchant, food hall and cafe du vin - takes us through the seasons pairing of some of the best wines from around the world with some of the best seasonal foods these Great British Isles have to offer. Mushrooms, Game birds and shellfish are all in season at the moment. I will take you through the transition from Summer in to Autumn, talk about wines that will conjure up memories of the summer days, as well as prepare you for the oncoming Autumn. Whether you forage for ingredients yourself or buy from local independent businesses, here are the wines you should be drinking with your favourite seasonal produce.
