Kinloch Lodge introduces wine flights
1 March 2008
A remote Scottish island is just about the last place you’d expect to find a cutting edge wine pairing programme but that’s exactly what’s been introduced at Kinloch Lodge on Skye.
The hotel, which is owned by world renowned food writer Claire Macdonald and her husband Godfrey, has recently taken on Marcello Tully, a Brazilian-born, Roux-trained chef who has completely overhauled the kitchen and menu. Working closely with Tom Eveling, a self-taught wine enthusiast and Claire and Godfrey’s son-in-law, they have created wine flight options to accompany each dish on the menu.
Each dish on the menu can now be paired with an accompanying wine flight of three 50ml servings (two with dessert) or you can order the same wines by the glass, bottle or half bottle if available. There are also a couple of other recommended matches from the wine list.
