Celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with L&S
Being proud Royal Warrant holders we wanted to do something special to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. So we decided to put together a selection of wines paired with selected recipes from the recently published Platinum Jubilee Cookbook to help you celebrate the long bank holiday weekend.
This rather beautiful cookbook - which is included in the case - has been compiled in honour of Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee and brings together 70 recipes submitted by British Embassies & High Commissions from around the world. Most of these recipes from the book have been served during Royal visits.
From the aptly named Platine 1er Cru Extra Brut NV Champagne from Nicolas Maillart, to the (tongue firmly in cheek here) Maga-sty Godello and not forgetting (getting seriously tenuous now) some Le Petit Roy-al, there is something for all palates.
Being serious for a moment though, this is a fabulous collection of wines that should make any (street) party go with a twist and a twirl.

We have been lucky enough to have had a preview of the book and have selected a couple of dishes to match with wines from the Platinum Jubilee case.

2024 GAVI Etichetta Bianca Tenuta la Marchesa
Piedmont Italy 12% White
Cortese.
Gavi has, for me, always been a synonym for fresh apple flavours. This wine delivers that as well, with a lively granny smith acidity underpinned by a really fresh orchard fruit palate that makes you think of late summer...(read more)

2025 MOSCATO D'ASTI Azienda Agricola G.D. Vajra
Piedmont Italy 5% White

Many a wine merchants' secret guilty pleasure - it is practically impossible not to love the brisk grapey pleasure of a Moscato d'Asti. Gently, naturally sweet with a easy frothy fizz; flavours of pears and sweet white g...(read more)

2023 TIMORASSO Montino La Colombera
Piedmont Italy 13.5% White
Timorasso.
Lovely bold waxiness, almost a touch of kerosene reminiscent of Riesling. Gorgeous lip smaking acidity underpins lovely citrus and crisp stone fruits with a gentle creamy waxiness on the long finish.

2023 TIMORASSO Santa Croce La Colombera

Alto Adige Italy 13.5% White

Decidedly green in the best possible way, the 2023 Kerner launches from the glass with zest of lime and sour melon, hints of young kiwi and spice. It washes across the palate with silken, nearly oily textures and ripe, c...(read more)
