We're back for Channel 10's My Market Kitchen for a food and wine adventure with hosts Laura Sharrad and Mike Reid!
On this episode, we venture into the Central Ranges and Mornington Peninsula to explore what these regions have to offer. Laura shows us how to make a vinaigrette to pour over fresh oysters, while Adam suggests a classic pairing of Sparkling wines with the Oysters. Adam couldn't pass up on pairing oysters with classic bubbles!
While Laura creates this simple starter, Adam suggests a perfect wine pairing of Ash Horner Picpoul 2020 and Stonier Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2016.
You can tune in at 3:30pm weekdays on Channel 10 - start cooking!
