Kate's Drink choices

Kate's Drink choices
Kate Goodman chose these beers to go with Michel's shepherd's pie:

  • Timothy Taylor’s Landlord Ale
  • Samuel Smith’s Organic Best Ale
Or she strongly recommends trying the spoils of any of your local microbreweries. 
If you prefer wine with it, then these French reds might suit you:

  • Réserve des Hospitaliers Cairanne, Côtes du Rhône-Villages. France. 2009
  • Domaine Brusset Côtes du Rhône Villages Cairanne Les Travers. France 2010
Or hop over the border into Spain and try 
  • Palacios Remondo, Herencia Remondo Rioja Crianza ‘La Montesa’ Spain. 2009
If you are keeping clear of the alcohol then give this a go:
  • Sunraysia Apple & Beetroot juice

To complement Michel's floating islands Kate recommends a demi-sec champagne, here are a few to choose from:

  • Louis Roederer demi-sec champagne
  • Billecart Salmon, Demi Sec Champagne
  • Domaine de Durban, Muscat de Beaumes De Venise 2009
