340: Eric Bordelet on Pairing Cider with Food

How to Pair Cider with Food

"One must taste, taste, taste to know." say maker Eric Bordelet when pairing food with cider. Yes, it is not as simple as seeing the menu, but also knowing how both the Chefs in the kitchen and the Maker in the cidery work with their ingredients at hand.

In this Episode

The French Cider Tour of 2022 was treated to a fine Michelin Star dinner with Eric Bordelet and it did not disappoint. Eric decided to discuss his three products before dinner was served. That evening he brought his Sidra Argulette (2010), the Poire Granite (2021) and the Corme (2021). He left it to the diners to decider which one paired best with the meal.

Hear in this episode which glass Cider Chat producer Ria Windcaller picked to drink with the meal.

The main clip in this episode is Eric speaking on the Sidra Argulette which even at 12 years of age is still tasting well balanced.
