Nosh Festive Wine Matched Dinner
Join Nosh and Dhall & Nash for a truly festive feast
Nosh in collaboration with Dhall & Nash are excited to bring you this special event.
Three courses from the team at Nosh Cambridge, expertly paired with both international wines and some more local gems for the ultimate culinary experience.
Menu
STARTERS:
Crispy Beetroot Balls [V]
Crumbed beetroot stuffed with herbed goat cheese, served with tzatziki yoghurt
With: 2023 Zephyr Sauvignon Blanc: The bright acidity cuts through the richness of the crumbed goat cheese and fried coating, keeping the palate clean. Its herbaceous notes reflect the fresh herbs in the stuffing and tzatziki, creating a well paired flavour connection. Meanwhile, crisp citrus and tropical fruit complement the earthy sweetness of the beetroot.
OR
Herbed Chicken Roulade
Herb-stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon, served with red sauce
With: 2024 Mascota Vineyards Chardonnay: The 2024 Mascota Vineyards Chardonnay works well with Herbed Chicken Roulade because its rich, buttery texture complements the creamy, savour flavours of the bacon-wrapped chicken. Its balanced acidity refreshes the palate against the mild red sauce, keeping each bite lively and well-rounded.
OR
Seared Sesame Tuna [GF][SF]
Pan-seared tuna coated in sesame seeds, served with guacamole and mango pineapple salsa
With: 2023 Zephyr Sauvignon Blanc: The punchy citrus and tropical fruit notes complement the sweet and tangy mango–pineapple salsa. Its fresh, vibrant acidity cuts through the richness of the tuna and guacamole. Additionally, the wine’s herbaceous and crisp character works with the nutty sesame crust, balancing the dish’s textures and flavours.
MAINS:
Paneer Masala Lababdar [GF][N]
Indian cottage cheese in a creamy tomato-cashew sauce, delicately spiced, with steamed rice
With: 2020 Johner Estate Gladstone Pinot Noir: Invitingly fragrant and generous, it offers ripe cherry and plum, hints of liquorice and dark chocolate, and supple tannins. A Pinot Noir would pair well because its soft tannins won’t clash with the creamy tomato–cashew sauce, while its bright red fruit and fresh acidity balance the dish’s richness. Subtle earthy and spice notes compliment the gentle Indian spices, enhancing the flavours without overpowering them.
OR
Classic Sirloin Steak (250g) [GF]
Tender sirloin, flame-seared and served with roasted root vegetables and crispy fries
With: 2020 Johner Estate Gladstone Pinot Noir: Pinot Noir is a versatile and refined pairing for sirloin steak. Its earthy characters help compliment the steak. The wine’s moderate tannins are smooth enough not to overpower the steak, yet structured enough to complement its flame-seared flavour. Subtle earthy spice in the Pinot Noir enhances the roasted vegetables and adds depth to the overall pairing.
OR
Heritage Butter Chicken [GF][N]
Tandoori chicken simmered in a rich, buttery tomato gravy with aromatic spices, served with steamed rice
With: 2023 Sartori Marani Bianco Veronese IGT: A beautiful golden colour and aromas of yellow and exotic fruits with a touch of honey, complements the rich, creamy butter chicken sauce. Its balanced, palate enhances the savoury flavours without overwhelming the chicken. The wine’s bright fruitiness and subtle sweetness create a refreshing contrast that lifts and balances the entire dish.
OR
Fish of the Day [GF]
Chef-selected catch, pan-fried to golden crisp, served with seasonal vegetables and house-made purée
With: 2023 Sartori Marani Bianco Veronese IGT: With its beautiful golden colour and aromas of yellow and exotic fruits with a touch of honey, this wine pairs wonderfully with the Fish of the Day. Its balanced palate complements the delicate flavour of the pan-fried fish
while enhancing the natural sweetness of the seasonal vegetables. The wine’s bright fruitiness and subtle sweetness create a refreshing contrast to the crisp, golden finish of the fish, bringing lift to the entire dish without overwhelming its gentle flavours.
DESSERT:
Mughlai Shahi Slice [N]
A royal dessert of golden crispy bread in saffron rabri, topped with assorted nuts
With: 2022 Folium Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc: The wine’s citrusy acidity cuts through the creamy, heavy texture of the rabri, refreshing the palate after each bite. Fruity notes like apricot, pineapple, and peach in the wine mirror the sweet, fragrant, and floral saffron flavours in the dessert, creating an intriguing combination. The wine’s crispness contrasts with the richness of the dessert, preventing it from feeling too heavy, while its medium sweetness complements the dessert without feeling out of place.

VINE, SEA, SMOKE - a Sicilian wine dinner by Spiga & Dhall & Nash
Join us for a memorable evening at Spiga with menu inspired by Sicily’s volcanic soul — where sea and smoke meet in perfect harmony.
Each dish is paired with the uncompromising purity of Frank Cornelissen, a visionary of Mount Etna whose wines express nature in its rawest form.
Tasting Line-up:
- Frank Cornelissen Susucaru Rosato 2022
With: Sarde "Beccafico" Sardines, raisins, orange zest & aromatic bread - Frank Cornelissen Munjebel Bianco 2020
With: Swordfish "Sando", Sicilian pesto & aubergine - Frank Cornelissen Munjebel Rosso 2021 and

Frank Cornelissen
Few winemakers have redefined a landscape like Frank Cornelissen has on Mount Etna. Once a Belgian wine trader, he saw in Sicily’s brooding volcano not danger, but possibility — a place where vines could speak for themselves, free from dogma or interference.
Cornelissen’s vineyards cling to Etna’s black, mineral-rich slopes, where bush-trained alberello vines yield meagre yet intensely expressive fruit. Each bunch is meticulously trimmed by hand, the sacrifice of quantity for clarity. His approach rejects every orthodoxy — no chemicals, no biodynamics, no oak — just nature left to its own rhythm.
Fermentation and ageing unfold in inert epoxy-lined vessels, chosen to eliminate even the whisper of external flavour. The result is wine stripped bare of artifice, charged with volcanic tension and uncompromising precision. In a world obsessed with intervention, Cornelissen offers something radical: purity, unfiltered.
If you'd like to learn more, we’ve blogged extensively about this humble icon before, which you can read here:

Spiga
SPIGA; Italian [Feminine Noun]
Ear of wheat, Botanical.
The part of the cereal which contains the seed.
"Small restaurant that delivers big feelings. Tucked in Remuera’s fantastic 1050 precinct, Spiga is a hidden trattoria that delivers Italian authenticity with handcrafted flair. Nestled down a quiet laneway in Remuera, this intimate space offers house-made pasta, Roman-style pizza, and seasonal antipasti using regional ingredients.
The design is rustic-chic, with exposed brick, timber accents, and a softly glowing open kitchen. A concise Italian wine list complements the menu, while the relaxed service and multi-course sharing approach feel like home without the nosy aunt. Spiga is where casual elegance and honest cooking intersect beautifully."

Maison Billecart-Salmon
Situated in the Champagne heartland of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, near Epernay, Billecart-Salmon has been under family ownership and management since its founding in 1818. It is a family-run winery with a majority share owned by the Billecart family and a minority holding is held by the Frey group, itself a family-owned business – they are owners of Château La Lagune in Bordeaux, Paul Jaboulet Ainé in the Rhône, and Château Corton C in Burgundy.
The Billecart family still lives on site and there remains a strong sense of long-visioned family continuity at play. Today there’s the seventh generation Mathieu Roland-Billecart overseeing everyday business as CEO, working closely with Antoine and François.
Champagne of the Millennium
On 12 June 1999, a jury of international experts came together to judge which champagne would be awarded the grand title of “Champagne of the Millennium” following a blind tasting.
Among the 150 champagnes in competition were the two Billecart-Salmon vintages, the Nicolas François Brut 1959 and the Nicolas François Brut 1961. When the results were announced, these two vintages took both first and second place
In his book The Great Tasting, Richard Juhlin wrote of the winner: "The perfect champagne, 1959 Billecart-Salmon, had everything one would expect of a luxury champagne, but in a seldom seen concentration and simultaneously with harmonious balance. A totally perfect champagne in its category, with a smoky, honey-smooth extremely long taste of walnut, orange blossom and chocolate. All who ever get to drink this fabulous wine just have to love the pleasure it grants. When you study the end results it is striking to see how obvious the victory was."
It was awarded a final mark of 98.5 out of 100.
