The Blog

Today's the day we make our lastest drink and digital media project come to life. It’s an absolute corker and we want you to get involved – so put a fine line through your diary between 12.50-1.20pm and then from 7-8pm. Winemaker for Casillero del Diablo, Marcelo Papa, is over from Chile and we’re holding a live web/twitter tasting with him – but with a twist. Together with wine bloggers Rob McIntosh (@thirstforwine) and Louis Villard (@spiltwine), and food bloggers Signe Johansen (@scandilicious) and Linda Williams (@goodshoeday), we will be conducting and broadcasting a two-stage wine and food matching cook-off, with input from all our twitter friends to shape the dishes to go with each wine. That means people just like you. The whole extravaganza will take us from a radio studio (with the ever effervescent Joe Wadsack) to London’s markets and delis, and finally to the excellent Kitchen at Parsons Green (http://www.visitthekitchen.com, @thekitchentl ) where Michelin-starred chef Thierry Laborde will help our brave volunteers craft dishes to perfectly match three of the Casillero del Diablo wines – Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz Rosé. To follow this experiment, either follow #casillero on twitter or check out http://casillero.posterous.com where all media will be pulled together - very clever stuff. Join us, and be part of this ground-breaking experiment.
