Fresh seared scallops and some Veuve NV.
Pizza and a robust Chianti.
Snacks and chilled sparkling Burgandy (bit of an Aussie thing).
Fillet medium rare, hand cut chips, Bearnaise, 82 Latour.
Curry and chilled traminer.
Foie Gras and Montbazillac.
Creme Brule and a bottle of D'Yquem. Or a nice Pedro Ximinez (sp?)
Time and place for everything.
To start? Prawn and leek tartlets with Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc or perhaps a Henschke Lenswood Chardonnay.
Roast Goose with rosti potatoes, steamed carrots, green beans and broccoli with a bottle of Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz. (That's if I'm allowed to blow £250 on dinner.)
If I've got to keep the budget sensible I'll have roast Gressingham duck and the Henschke Mt Edelstone Shiraz.
Dessert would be Tiramisu with a Henschke Noble Rot Semillon.
Of course one would then move on to the cheese. Almost certainly one of fine Fonseca vintage ports with that.
Then brandy. Luckily on this my palate prefers Torres Brandy de Jerez Diez which is dirt cheap in comparison to the Cognacs and Armangnacs I might choose.
Then perhaps a Cuban cigar on the patio? With more of the brandy.
