Cail Bruich & Odfjell wines.

Cail Bruich & Odfjell wines tasting menu. 

I've previously written about Cail Bruich and their Madklubben food evening and how well they put on a good night with great food, this time it was all about the wine and matching the food to the Chilean wine. Our hosts were Dan Odfjell from Odfjell wines and of course, the ever friendly Cail Bruich team. I'm a massive wine fan but I have to confess that if its not french then it rarely gets a look in but for a cheap £50 you can't complain. We got a 5 course tasting menu with matching wines, some chit chat from Dan about the grapes and the usual wine talk. To be honest, I learnt a few things about chile and its good climate for grapes and that its always raining. The food & drink menu is here for you to have a look over. 


We forgot to take pictures of the first few dishes as we were having such a good time but heres what we managed to get.   

Venison tartare. 


Octopus. 

Ox cheek. 

If you've not been before then I'd recommend it, good food, good wine and its has friendly great service thats relaxed yet professional. Plus, it's where the chefs like to eat so you know your onto a winner.
