Another Great evening at Aleria

This week , it was the turn of the wines of Domaine Skouras to be matched with another inventive menu by the chef of Aleria.
We started with a bowl of cream of onion soup with just a hint of fresh apricot topped with parmesan foam, accompanied by a glass of Viognier Larsenos, this was a match made in heaven!
Probably the best of the night.
Next we had lightly grilled squid on a bed of couscous flavoured with a carbonara sauce matched with a glass of chardonnay, the saltiness in the sauce went well with the wine.
The meat course was casseroled lamb flavoured with orange peel/zest, this was fabulous , the orange turned the lamb into something really exotic on a hot summer evening. With this we enjoyed a glass of George Skouras's new wine , Fleva, a medium bodied Syrah , which worked well with the lamb.
Finally we finished with rice pudding topped with caramelised apples.
As George Skouras does not make a sweety we enjoyed a glass of Madiera to finish up with.
