Wildflowers
Mar. 29th, 2026 02:39 pmWith an approaching birthday, I celebrated with a meal at Wildflowers with Dom.
The menu (and wines) were:
First course:
Cantabrian anchovy, Manchego & honey
Red prawn crudo, stracciatella, pistachio & blood orange
Moules farcies, garlic & parsley butter
125ml Colet Navazos Reserva Brut Nature, Equipo Navazos 2020 Penedès, Spain
This had the best wine, this was a lovely sparkling white.
Second course:
Cornish red mullet, capers, golden raisins & pine nuts, grilled sardine sauce Choron
125ml ‘Louro Do Bolo’ Godello, Rafael Palacios 2023 Galicia, Spain
Third course:
Cuttlefish ‘Arroz al Horno’, crisp pork jowl, glazed cheek, morcilla, quince allioli
Italian bitter leaf salad & moscatel vinaigrette
125ml ‘Vi d'Altura` Priorat, Mas La Mola 2022 Cataluña, Spain
I liked this course, possibly the best.
Palate cleanser: Italian citrus sorbetto
Dessert:
Brown sugar creme caramel & whipped crème fraîche
50ml Vin Santo del Chianti Rufina Selvapiana 2022 Tuscany, Italy
The dessert wine was a beautiful colour.
