Wine and Women
6 April 2007
Two Paddocks
Over Easter, with friends from abroad we invented a new game over lunch: Match the wine to the woman (or man if you insist) one admires.
Play as follows: someone asks e.g. “Helen Mirren is a ….?” Players yell out their answers, e.g. Puligny Montrachet Grand Cru!” Winner by popular acclaim.
Thus some of the list that emerged over lunch:
- Kristin Scott-Thomas -- a dry Riesling
- Judy Dench -- Amontillado sherry
- Cate Blanchett -- vintage Champagne
- Meryl Streep -- Chateau Latour
And so on.
Nominations for a great Pinot Noir included (drum roll here!)
- Helena Bonham-Carter
- Audrey Tautou
- Emanuelle Beart
Try this at home. Send in your nominations.
