Sustainable fish and supporting wines with Mike

Mike was back on his feet at Trengilly Wartha Inn on Saturday evening presenting seven wines against seven tapas style fish dishes all made using sustainable fish and shellfish. Highlight for me was the Thai fish soup which was served with Les Yeuses Syrah 'Les Épices'. The richness of the soup was bold enough to carry the velvety and peppery Syrah - still a big house favourite here! The runner up was the Frascati from Poggio Le Volpi where the limey edge cut through the tartare sauce with ease.
The dishes and accompanying wines are shown below:
