About this listen

During the episode, the speakers, Emma and Emmanuel, discuss various topics mainly focusing on wine and the Christmas season. The wine this week is a Domaine Henri Giraud Ratafia de Champagne 'Solera', with the unique method through which it is produced. As they bring in the Christmas context, they talk about mulled wine and its cultural origin. They delve into its history, pointing out that it used to be a drink for all seasons, not exclusively Christmas. They also discuss the different recipes across countries for mulled wine. The latter sections of the conversation focus on Christmas food and how it can be paired with different types of wines. They talk about their personal preferences and traditions around Christmas meals. Suggestions like pairing a heavy red wine with cheese or a very acidic white wine to cut through the heaviness of a cheese dish are discussed. They even suggest contrasting food and wine flavors rather than complementing them.
