John F Francis still life - wine and cheese

1 June 2020 We have just published details of the 61(!) runners up in our competition and, separately, details of the 10 winners. Click on the links below to find out more.

29 May 2020 This Monday 1 June at 9 am UK time we will be publishing Tam's collection of suggestions from runners up in our competition to find the best food and wine pairings submitted by those who took advantage of our offer to laid-off hospitality professionals outlined at the bottom of the list below. Three hours later we will divulge who wins six Jancis Robinson wine glasses.

7 May 2020 We're planning to publish quite a lot of these free articles themed by food type, so we thought a guide for easy reference might be appreciated. The most recently published instalment is at the top of the list. We plan to publish two new instalments every week throughout May and to announce details of the winning pairing on Monday 1 June.
