For a fun evening with wine and crisps, York Gin's distillery has it in the bag!
I never really thought of crisps and wine going together, believing it sounded a little vulgar. I recall the 'pop and crisps' of my childhood, which later evolved into a packet of Cheese and Onion often going nicely with a pint. But anyway, the chance to learn that crisps do go with wine, and can be paired appropriately, to boost the taste of both made for an informative and most enjoyable evening. York Gin has partnered with Emma Moore, the Wine Lady, for the novel and fun tasting events at their new distillery at Middletons Hotel, Skeldergate.

The other Emma, the Wine Lady, then came round with glasses of a sparkling wine and told us to open out packet of Walker's Salt and Shake. Emma Moore brings out the Pringles (Image: Darren Greenwood) Emma has been trained in wine, as well as beer, including what to pair with what. Wine on its own is good, so are crisps on their own, but matched well can 'elevate both,' she said. Whilst people have different palettes, you don't want one to overpower the other, she explained. So a pinot grigio won't pair with a strong curry. Now, the sparkler turned out to be cava and the salt in the crisps made the wine taste 'smoother and better,' a view agreed by most of the dozen or so present. This was true for other made in the champagne method, including German Sekt and French crémant. Nigel Bairstow is having bags of fun (Image: Darren Greenwood) Out came the cheese and onion with another white, a French chardonnay. Many wine drinkers don't go for chardonnay, but we found it paired well with cheese and onion crisps. The third wine was an aromatic, that was paired with very spicy sweet chilli and sour cream flavour Kettle chips. However, people felt the spiciness of these chips took away the sweetness of the wine that turned out to be an Italian Gewurztraminer, with many preferring the wine by itself. Aromatic wines, Emma said, can be hard to pair, but they tend go well with Thai and other Asian flavours. Prawn Cocktail Skips came next and we learnt darker roses pair best and all agreed they brought out the best in each other. Wine number five was a light-bodied pinot noir from New Zealand, which went well with vegetable crisps. And on a hot day, a little chilling will also boost its flavour. Finally, out came the Texas BBQ Pringles, which was paired with a full-flavoured, full-bodied Appassimento from Italy. Most saw this pairing as the best of the night, with the full-flavour of the wine able to take on the bbq flavours- the same we were told would be true of Primativo and California Zinfandel. Either way, Emma advised us all to experiment with flavour at home and have fun. We all received tasting notes to take home to guide us. And fun we had certainly had. The evening has changed Jo Hird's way of thinking (Image: Darren Greenwood) Nigel Bairstow, a 'big fan of York gin,' said: 'It was a lovely, superb evening. I am so glad I came. I learnt a lot.' Jo Hird said: 'It was fantastic, a really enjoyable evening', saying Emma helped people see how they could taste the difference. Jo added: 'It (the crisps) completely and utterly changed the way the wine tasted. It was fascinating, an eye-opener. It will change the way I look at wine in the future.' Now, the other Emma, York Gin's Emma Godivala, told the Press: 'I thought the evening was enjoyable, informative, surprising and useful, showing how wines can change. It shows people how to complement and elevate your everyday glass of plonk.' Others present agreed, myself included. Dare I say for a fun and recommended night out, the two Emmas have it in the bag. There will be further evenings with wine and crisps and in several weeks time, an evening pairing crisps with beer. For details and to book, go to:

AFLW shock in fixture release
No double-headers with AFL games, no matches at the MCG or Marvel Stadium, the SCG, Adelaide Oval or the Gabba. The 12-week AFLW season will again be played at smaller venues but in more traditional timeslots in 2025 after the full fixture was revealed on Friday. There will be no Tuesday or Wednesday games, as included in last year's heavily criticised compressed fixture, but the walk-back from officials on linking up with men's matches across the final two home and away rounds was a fixture shock. Last month, AFLW general manager, Emma Moore said a 'one-club, two-team approach' would present opportunities for double-headers. 'One of the things we're focusing on is optimising what we can do in terms of the crossover of the women's and men's competition and clearly double-headers are part of that conversation and analysis we're doing,' Moore said. But there are none, and instead the AFLW has given itself flexibility with start times to ensure clubs who have men's teams in the finals don't play at the same time. The season will open on Thursday, August 14, with two games, including a clash between Carlton and Collingwood. There will again be a glut of matches on the eve of the men's grand final, with four matches on the Friday, then another four on the Sunday. AFL head of strategy and scheduling Josh Bowler said the fixture aimed to build rivalries and attendance. 'As we head into the 10th season of the NAB AFLW competition, it is important to recognise the moments and match-ups in the game that have helped shape the league so far while also nurturing the emerging rivalries and making it easy and accessible for fans to attend,' Bowler said. 'The fixture is always a complex jigsaw to piece together and I'd like to thank all stakeholders including club representatives, senior coaches, our broadcast partners, the AFLPA and our team who have all worked incredibly hard to produce a fixture that enables fans to form even stronger connections with their team.' Rather than play at Marvel Stadium or the MCG, games will again be played at AFL training bases, including Moorabbin, the Whitten Oval and Alberton Oval as well as Norwood. Hawthorn will also play in Cairns, the Kangaroos in Tasmania, while Geelong will play at GMHBA Stadium and the Gold Coast at People First Stadium, both AFL venues. Bowler said the flexible timing for some games would come in to play 'if one club's AFL and AFLW match windows are within one hour of overlapping'. 'Further to that, if a club is hosting two home games over one weekend, these will fall on different days to ensure the club can operationally deliver the best possible match-day experience for fans across two venues,' he said. The season will end with a floating fixture in round 12, with game times to be determined at a later stage in order to set up the finals.
