Thanks so much for your help.

I was trying to run the wine thing but will just change it to run with the food.

I really appreciate your input with it all.

I am guessing it will be yummy anyway so its not worth stressing too much about.

Mixing your reds / white wines would be ok. Having too many sweet whites one after the other can be too much so having them alternate with reds would work fine.

I would swap the pork and hoison beef around, as the hoison beef with greens is a lighter dish than the pork belly and potatoes.

If the sushi is a canape then serve that first, followed by the peppers if they're stuff with rice and vege (if meat leave in the order you already have) then , mushrooms, frozen grapes, salmon, hoison beef, pork belly and then pie, sorbet then dessert and port etc.

It all sounds yum. ]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:06:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1119458&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1119458 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1119333&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1119333 Author: Mucky_Tiger

I can't change the wines as each person has done their own wine match for their course so I have just had to do the best with that.

Am presuming the peppers are stuffed with veges etc - not really sure to be honest as not my course but thought the Pinot was an odd choice with it.

Sushi is just a canape as people arrive.

So would you do peppers first - even though its with a pinot noir?

Feel free to PM me what you would do! All help is most welcome.]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 17:30:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1119284&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1119284 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1119225&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1119225 Author: caliandjack

What are the peppers stuffed with? Is this a vege option
I would serve the creamy mushrooms before the prime beef.
I'd also swap the cab sav with the shiraz cab. As the cab sav is the heavier red and the steak and guiness the heartiest meal.

Probably being a bit cheeky, if I was serving an asian style meal I'd sneak in a Gewurztraminer doesn't matter if you don't want to though.

Is the sushi being served at the table or as a canape?

Otherwise I'd go -vege, fish, chicken, pork,
beef, dessert, apertifs/port .

it's a chicken stuff in a duck stuffed in a turkey - it was done by a local butcher and then cooked - had to be cooked really well but it was great -

wow sounds awesome!
pretty much what caliand jack said, if you were doing a wine tasting you's start with lighter white, then bigger whites, then light reds and then bigger reds. If you have no meat, seafood, chicken, red meat in that order the wines to match them would naturally come roughly in that order as well.
Hope you have a lovely evening ]]> Fri, 16 Jul 2010 11:39:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1100159&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1100159 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1099749&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1099749 Author: caliandjack

In order of food.. with wines to match.

So starter, (no meat), seafood, chicken, red meat, dessert and cheese.
If your serving good wines with each course, it won't mater.
The other option is to have a palate cleanser between the meat and dessert if you wish. Usually a lemon or lime sorbet will do the trick.
Sounds like a yummie evening.]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 21:26:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1099749&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1099749 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1099658&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1099658 Author: Peanut

Linzy, I found that website too but it didn't really answer my question. I am all confused. My thought was food order but then the wine wouldn't taste as good. ]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:40:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1099658&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1099658 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1099618&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1099618 Author: myfullhouse

I am definately no expert but I would have thought that the order would be based on the food not the wine

Try this degustation at home website, it tells you the "rules"]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:11:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1099618&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1099618 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1099535&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1099535 Author: HuntersMama

Hey there ladies,

I am having a degustation dinner party at my house. There are 8 people and each person is bringing a course with wine to match. They are emailing me there course and wine prior to the party.

My question is when I sort the order out do I do it based on wine or food?

If wine how does it go? Resiling, Pinot Gri, Sauv, Chard, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Cab Sauv?

If food? No meat, seafood, chicken, red meat, dessert.

Thanks sooo much for your help and input ladies.]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 18:49:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PID=1099494&title=foodies-and-wine-lovers-please-help#1099494
