We’re excited to have Mise en Place’s Doug Lilburne at Maker & Monger this weekend.

Doug has a lifelong passion for the food industry, starting in kitchens at fourteen. Now his wines are a love letter to the Yarra Valley. Safe to say Doug knows his way around a pairing.

From 10am he’ll be pouring a range of samples from the Mise en Place cellar.

Come say hello and stay for a glass - or a bottle! See you Saturday. by @makerandmonger

We expected heated arguments in our team “This or That” challenge, but found total unanimity instead.

While we might agree here, we know everyone’s palate is different. When you’re at the counter, it’s always about finding your ideal pairing.

Back from France and full of inspiration, Celia is highlighting one of her favourites: Saint-Nectaire.

This French cheese staple is great on a cheese board, melted in a toastie, or baked into a cozy Truffade alongside mushrooms, cream, garlic, and fresh parsley.
Pop into Maker & Monger to pick up some Saint-Nectaire this weekend. by @makerandmonger
