We live and work in Phuket / Thailand, where for the past 14 years we operate a highly successful Latino steakhouse. Our daily reality revolves around fire, beef, and smoke, not fish sauce, basil, and spicy chilli. Still, being in Thailand means that some guests occasionally ask for a few well known Thai dishes, so we keep a small selection on the menu to be accommodating.
This not being our core business, it’s where things become interesting. Pairing Thai food with wine is, without exaggeration, a sommelier’s nightmare. Thai cuisine refuses to behave – sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and herbal notes arrive simultaneously, often with added funk from fish sauce or shrimp paste. This complexity leaves very little room for error.
The classic steakhouse wine pairing instinct of matching weight with weight, or protein with tannin collapses immediately. As a result, most diners make the very sensible choice of opting for still water, or one of Thailand’s iconic beers such as Chang or Singha. Others take the more adventurous route of reaching for local “whiskies” like Saeng Som or Mekong, overlooking that these are closer to rum than to anything a Scottish or Kentucky distillery would recognise or condone.
Wine pairing, however, is not entirely off the table. It just demands restraint, humility (as we learned the hard way), and a willingness to abandon power in favour of balance. Used carefully, some combinations can work out because they calm the heat, mirror the complex aromatics, and respect acidity instead of trying to dominate it.
With these caveats in mind, some pairings could well look like this.
• Pad Thai (Sweet Sour Fried Noodles) – Chenin Blanc
Moderate sweetness and fresh acidity help tame tamarind, palm sugar, and lime without flattening the dish.
• Som Tum (Green Papaya Salad) – Moscato d’Asti
Low alcohol, gentle fizz, and fruit sweetness act as a natural counterweight to chilli and fish sauce.
• Tom Yum (Hot Sour Soup) – Sauvignon Blanc
Bright acidity and herbal notes echo lemongrass and kaffir lime, creating a measure of alignment rather than full on conflict.
• Larb (Spicy Minced Meat Salad) – Grenache
Juicy red fruit and low tannin suit minced meat, herbs, and citrus while keeping spice in check.
• Green Curry – Malbec
This only works when coconut richness outweighs heat, but softer Malbec styles can complement the dish well.
• Pad Krapow (Spicy Thai Basil Stir Fry) – Red Burgundy
Pinot Noir’s perfume and light structure handle basil and garlic far better than heavier reds ever could.
• Massaman Curry – Gewürztraminer
Aromatic intensity and gentle sweetness align with warm spices, peanuts, and slow cooked meat.
• Pad See Ew (Spicy Stir-Fried Noodles) – Primitivo or Zinfandel
Sweet soy and caramelised flavours benefit from ripe fruit and moderate alcohol.
• Mango Sticky Rice – Sauternes
When dessert meets dessert, honeyed richness mirrors coconut cream and ripe mango beautifully.
Speaking of Sauternes – a few years we decided to experiment a little too confidently. A beach, a diverse and spicy Thai meal, and a bottle of truly top shelf Sauternes sounded romantic and clever at the time. The result was a disaster, because the wine’s complexity was crushed, the food felt clumsy, and the pairing achieved the rare feat of making both taste worse. It taught us humility, and that while experience is the key, it also has its pitfalls.
Context matters too – chilli level, sugar balance, and kitchen style can shift a pairing from pleasant to painful in seconds. This is why Thai food remains one of the toughest challenges for wine professionals. The margin for error is narrow, and the punishment for getting it wrong is harsh and immediate.
In our setting as a Latino steakhouse, we therefore treat Thai dishes as guests, not hosts. When wine works, it is a pleasant surprise for guests and us alike. When it does not, beer and water are the intelligent ad respectable choices. Sometimes, the best pairing decision is knowing when wine should politely step aside and let the food speak for itself.

by lspeed | Dec 31, 2025 | DECODING GRAPES: FROM VINES TO VINTAGE
Winemakers do not abandon grapes because they make bad wine, but because they are awkward. They ripen late, yield little, demand explanations, or refuse to charm the drinker in the first ten seconds. In an industry built on recognisable flavour and predictable behaviour, those traits are not endearing, but commercial liabilities. The grapes below survive not because they are easy, but because a handful of growers have decided that difficulty is not a crime.
Red Wine Grapes
Pineau d’Aunis: Loire Valley, France
Pineau d’Aunis is the master of understatement. Pale in colour, it politely lowers expectations and then immediately ignores them. Aromatically it is all white pepper, rose petal, cranberry and savoury tension, behaving far better at the table than its looks would suggest. This is not a wine for analysis paralysis, but a companion to grilled meat, smoke and fat.
Its long standing issue has never been quality but optics. Low yields and modest colour kept it from competing with darker and louder neighbours. Today it survives largely thanks to producers like Domaine Bellivière and Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, who continue to plant it out of belief rather than demand. Pineau d’Aunis is not disappearing yet, but it does require someone to choose it on purpose.
Persan: Savoie and Isère, France
Persan nearly vanished because it asked growers to work harder for less applause. Late ripening, low yielding and structurally serious, it was replaced by more cooperative varieties without much debate. Which is unfortunate, because Persan delivers exactly what mountain vineyards promise but rarely manage. Depth without weight, tannin without aggression, and acidity that understands food.
The modern revival owes much to Domaine des Ardoisières, whose alpine bottlings gave Persan credibility again, and to producers like Domaine Alphonse Grisard, who quietly prove it can age with dignity. Persan now lives in that narrow economic middle ground where conviction matters more than momentum.
Mouhtaro: Central Greece
Mouhtaro is often described as rescued, which is accurate but slightly misleading, because it implies weakness rather than seriousness. In reality, Mouhtaro produces dark fruited, savoury wines with structure and ageing potential. It is neither rustic nor glossy modern, and simply does the job without fuss.
Estate Samartzis has been central in defining its contemporary identity, while Vourvoukeli Estate offers a slightly more polished interpretation. Mouhtaro is not in immediate danger, but its footprint remains tight. Its future depends less on trends and more on sustained interest in indigenous Greek reds.
St Laurent: Austria
St Laurent suffers from being called Pinot Noir’s cousin, which is like describing a dry aged ribeye as a hamburger upgrade. The comparison sets expectations the grape has no intention of meeting. St Laurent is darker, spicier and more brooding, with cherry, cocoa and forest floor notes, and a slightly feral edge in youth.
It is widely planted and entirely secure in Austria, championed by producers such as Heinrich and Johanneshof Reinisch. Its problem is not survival but neglect. Internationally it remains overshadowed by grapes with louder marketing. St Laurent is not disappearing but waiting to be judged on its own terms.
Baga: Bairrada, Portugal
Baga built its reputation during a period when extraction was considered a personality trait. High tannin, high acidity and no interest in early charm made it an easy scapegoat. In capable hands, however, Baga becomes one of Iberia’s most compelling reds. Savoury, structured and quietly long lived.
Luis Pato set the benchmark decades ago, while Filipa Pato has done more than anyone to rehabilitate the grape without sanding off its edges. Bairrada does not function without Baga, and its issue is not survival but lingering prejudice.
White Wine Grapes
Timorasso: Piedmont, Italy
Timorasso should make producers of expensive white Burgundy mildly uncomfortable. Textural, mineral and quietly powerful, it ages effortlessly and performs superbly at the table. Its near extinction now looks like a collective lapse in judgement.
Walter Massa is the reason Timorasso exists in any meaningful way today. Without him, it would likely be a historical footnote. Producers such as Vietti have since helped bring it wider attention. Timorasso is no longer endangered. The risk now is dilution rather than disappearance.
Savagnin: Jura, France
Savagnin is often described as difficult, which is polite shorthand for uninterested in being charming. Whether topped up or oxidative, it delivers umami, grip and structural authority that few white grapes can match. It does not perform but expects you to pay attention.
Domaine Tissot and Domaine Jean Macle continue to define its range and longevity. Savagnin is protected by appellation rules and regional pride. Culturally and legally it is safe, and its only real vulnerability is being misunderstood.
Dry Furmint: Tokaj, Hungary
Furmint is famous but trapped by its success in sweet wine. Dry Furmint is something else entirely. Taut, mineral and transparent to site, it ages with precision and restraint. One of Central Europe’s great white grapes, quietly operating outside the spotlight or influencer babble.
Istvan Szepsy produces reference examples, while Kiralyudvar demonstrates its stylistic range. Furmint is not going anywhere, and Tokaj as a region depends on it. The problem is not survival, but recognition.
Assyrtiko: Mainland Greece
Santorini dominates the narrative, but mainland Assyrtiko deserves equal respect. Linear, saline and precise, it handles heat, smoke and seafood without theatrics.
Gaia Estate and Ktima Gerovassiliou have shown that Assyrtiko does not require volcanic drama to be compelling. The grape is expanding. The risk here is not extinction, but sameness.
Silvaner: Old Vine Germany
Silvaner’s greatest weakness is subtlety. Old vine examples deliver texture, savoury depth and quiet authority, particularly at the table. They do not shout, which in modern wine culture is a strategic error.
Weingut Rudolf May and Weingut Am Stein remain committed advocates. Silvaner as a grape is safe. Old vine Silvaner is less guaranteed, its future resting on whether growers choose patience over replacement.
Final Harvest
Wine grapes survive not because they become famous, but because they are poured, understood and valued. The ones that vanish rarely fail in the glass, and most of these grapes are not dying. They are simply losing the argument at the wine shop shelf. You ca help change that.

by lspeed | Dec 28, 2025 | BLACK BOX: RANTS, RAVES, REVIEWS & RECIPES
Before the Laguiole knife settled comfortably beside linen napkins and serious wine lists, it enjoyed a less respectable apprentice phase. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, certain spring loaded versions of the Laguiole quietly drifted into the darker back alleys of Paris. Slim, discreet, and quick in the hand, they were sometimes modified to open at lightning speed. Pressed into service as improvised switch blades, they were handy tools to “elevate the financial position” of their handler.
Not exactly brochure material, but every French icon seems to have a youthful chapter it prefers not to discuss over a polite lunch. Once that phase had passed, the Laguiole cleaned itself up remarkably well and went on to become one of France’s most recognisable everyday objects, and one of the world’s most iconic steak knives. Few tools have managed such a smooth transition from rural necessity to urban style, with only the occasional raised eyebrow or whispered comment along the way.
Pasture to Pocket to Posh
The Laguiole knife originated in the early nineteenth century in the village of – you probably guessed it – Laguiole in the Aveyron region of southern France. Shepherds needed a reliable folding knife for daily tasks such as cutting rope, portioning cheese, killing sheep poachers, or whatever else a long day in the fields required. Early Laguiole knives were simple slip joint designs. Practical, durable, and not especially interested in being admired.
As the knife spread beyond the countryside, it evolved. Handles became sculpted. Materials went upscale. Decorative file work appeared along the spine. What had once been a purely functional object slowly learned some manners. The small bee or fly on the spring emerged during this period, acquiring a mythology all of its own. Depending on who is telling the story, it represents Napoleon, regional pride, fly-infested sheep pastures – or simply a decorative flourish that stuck around because people just loved it.
Laguiole Meets the Meat
Somewhere along the way, Laguiole also found its natural habitat at the dining table. Original Laguiole designs became some of the most recognisable luxury steak knives in the world. Long, slim, and perfectly suited to serious cuts of meat, they migrated effortlessly into Michelin listed dining rooms.
A Laguiole steak knife does not perform theatrics. It simply glides through beef with quiet authority, the culinary equivalent of a raised eyebrow that says this kitchen knows what it is doing. It is no coincidence that Laguiole feels most at home near fire and protein. This was never a desk knife. It belongs where food is taken seriously and pretension is kept ever so slightly in check.
Serrated or Smooth?
This is part of an never ending philosophical argument amongst serious carnivores or steakhouse owners. At Churrasco Phuket Steakhouse, we consider aggressively serrated steak knives something of a pedestrian aberration. Great steaks like ours earned and deserve respect. They should be sliced cleanly, not wrestled into submission or torn up.
Laguiole knives found a diplomatic middle way. Not a big surprise once you consider that French has always been considered the international language of compromise. Laguioles use a very mild micro serration, though even calling it that is being generous. It is more a gentle suggestion of teeth, designed to grip food rather than attack it. This detail is rooted in practicality rather than style. Laguiole knives were never meant to live in display cabinets. They were meant to cut whatever or whoever was in front of them, day after day, without demanding constant attention from a sharpening stone.
That light toothiness allows the blade to bite cleanly into crusty bread, cooked meat, and even the occasional stubborn tomato skin without slipping. For steak, it makes particular sense. The blade enters the meat smoothly, follows the grain, and slices rather than tears. The result is cleaner cuts, less pressure, and a far more civilised experience at the table.
Heavily serrated steak knives, by contrast, behave like caffeinated hedge trimmers. They chew through fibres, shred rather than slice, and leave the steak looking like it lost an argument. They are efficient in the way a chainsaw is, but subtle they are not.
Popularity Has Its Downside
By the twentieth century, Laguiole had become both a symbol and a souvenir. Farmers carried it. Sommeliers flexed it. Tourists gobbled it up. And manufacturers everywhere noticed. The problem was that the original makers never protected the name Laguiole as a trademark. Legally, it remained a place name, rather than a controlled designation. This meant that anyone, anywhere, could label a knife Laguiole.
Many did, especially China and with a vengeance. Workshops across Europe and beyond too began producing knives bearing the name. Some were excellent. Others were optimistic. The rest are a badly forged joke. The result is a market now flooded with “Laguiole” knives that look similar but behave very differently. Quality ranges from artisan crafted to decorative object that struggles with cutting soft cheese. The name stayed consistent, but standards disappeared.
The Price of Laissez-Faire
For consumers, this creates confusion. Buying a Laguiole knife no longer said anything about where it was made or how. For French makers, this is deeply frustrating. They continue producing knives using traditional methods, signing their work and emphasising craftsmanship, while sharing the same label as mass produced imports.
Efforts are being made now to introduce geographical protections and clearer certification systems, aiming to define what truly qualifies as Laguiole in terms of origin and production. These initiatives seek to restore clarity and protect heritage, though progress is slow and political, just like absolutely everything else going on in the European Union.
Why It Still Works
Despite the trademark chaos and flirtations with the Parisian underbelly, Laguiole endures. Its design is both dope and timeless. A well made real Laguiole feels right in the hand and behaves impeccably at the table. The story is messy, but the knife remains elegant, and prhaps that is the point. Laguiole never tried to be perfect. It just kept cutting, wherever life happened to place it.

by lspeed | Dec 24, 2025 | LIQUORS: LIFT YOUR SPIRITS
Rum has had quite the glow up. It has grown up without developing a superiority complex. Unlike whisky culture, where single malts are sometimes discussed in hushed tones and judged by how many people you manage to intimidate by discussing them, rum remains refreshingly relaxed. It can be serious without being solemn, and refined without demanding silence or a tasting notebook. Today’s rum world is broad and occasionally confusing, so let us unpack the main styles without turning it into a chemistry lecture. Think of this as rum, explained with one raised eyebrow and a discreet pirate’s growl.
Standard Rum: The White & Golden Motherships
Standard rum is rum in its most honest form. No perfume, no costume changes, no dramatic back story about ancient monks. Just fermented sugarcane, distilled, and aged or not aged depending on intent. It can be made from sugarcane juice, syrup, or molasses, and those choices a great deal.
White rum is usually clear, light, and either non-aged or aged briefly before filtration removes colour. It is crisp, slightly sweet, and often underestimated. In the right hands it is elegant. In the wrong hands it is just alcohol with a tan. Gold rum spends time in barrels, usually oak, picking up colour and a bit more personality. Think gentle vanilla, soft caramel, and a hint of warmth.
This is rum starting to find its voice as the backbone of the category. Everything else builds on it, decorates it, or occasionally distracts from it.
Dark Rum: Where Things Get Serious
Dark rum has seen longer barrel ageing or heavier barrels, sometimes both. It is where wood stops being a background detail and becomes a co-author. Most dark rums mature in oak barrels, often ex bourbon casks that have already had one hard life in Kentucky before heading south for a second career. These barrels are not simply storage vessels, but deliberately prepared with fire.
Charring and toasting caramelise the wood’s natural sugars, crack open the oak’s structure, and create layers of flavour that the rum slowly absorbs over years. The level of heat matters. A light toast encourages vanilla and gentle sweetness. A heavier char brings smoke, spice, cocoa, and deeper caramel notes, along with that unmistakable toasted wood character.
In tropical climates, where rum ages faster due to heat and humidity, the interaction between spirit and barrel is intense. Rum breathes in and out of the wood more aggressively than whisky ever could in cooler climates, picking up colour and complexity at speed, while also losing more spirit to evaporation, the so called “Angel’s Share”.
While American oak dominates, it is not the only in play. French oak appears in some Caribbean and Latin American rums, contributing tighter grain, drier tannins, and a spicier, more structured profile. Spanish oak, often previously used for sherry, lends dried fruit, nutty richness, and wine like depth. In parts of Asia and South America, local hardwoods have historically been used, adding regional character and reminding us that rum has always been pragmatic as well as creative.
Spiced Rum: Rum with Opinions
Spiced rum begins life as standard rum, then someone decides it needs more drama. Spices, herbs, and flavourings are added, commonly cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, vanilla, and sometimes citrus peel. Occasionally things get more creative, but not always in a good way. The result is warmer, sweeter, and louder than non-spiced rum. Spiced rum does not whisper, it announces itself. This makes it popular in casual drinking, long mixed drinks, and cocktails where subtlety is not the main objective.
Spiced rum is often criticised by purists, usually while they sip something aged in a barrel that once held a rare tree from a protected forest. Ignore them. Spiced rum has its place. It is friendly, accessible, and forgiving. It also does very well with cola, which is information worth respecting. Just remember that spiced rum is more about flavour design than terroir. You are drinking a recipe, not a geography lesson.
Solera Rum: The Smooth Talker
Solera rum borrows its ageing system from sherry production. Barrels are stacked in tiers. The oldest rum sits at the bottom, the youngest at the top. When rum is bottled, it is drawn from the bottom tier and replaced with slightly younger rum from above, and so on up the stack. What this means in the glass is consistency and balance. No sharp edges. No awkward youthfulness. Just a smooth blend where older and younger rums hold hands and behave.
Flavours often include caramel, dried fruit, soft oak, and gentle sweetness. Solera rums are designed for sipping, ideally slowly, ideally without ice, and ideally without someone insisting you try it with tonic. The trade off is transparency. Age statements on solera rums can be confusing. When a bottle says twenty three years, it does not mean the rum is twenty three years old. It means somewhere in that system, a rum of that age exists. This is not deception, but it is marketing poetry.
The Choice
Once the drink of sailors, pirates, and anyone with optional dental hygiene, rum now sits confidently on bar shelves, next to single malt whiskies and small batch gins. Same sugarcane roots, very different manners, and a stubborn refusal to be boxed in. It can be serious without being solemn, playful without being silly, and refined without losing its sun soaked soul.
Standard rum shows technique. Dark rum shows character. Spiced rum shows flair. Solera rum shows polish. None is superior, they simply serve different moods and moments. Choose the style that suits the moment, pour generously, and remember that even the most elegant rum started life as sugarcane, ambition, and perhaps a bit of smuggling.

by lspeed | Dec 21, 2025 | DECODING GRAPES: FROM VINES TO VINTAGE
Wine has been many things through history. A social glue. A quiet companion for long evenings. A diplomatic shortcut at questionable business dinners. Yet long before sommeliers debated minerality with alarming seriousness, wine was performing a far loftier task, acting as a bridge between the earthly and the divine. Humanity discovered fermentation, raised a cup, and suddenly the gods felt a touch more approachable. Perhaps they even smiled back after the third glass.
In the ancient world, the marriage between vineyards and temples was entirely logical. A drink that began life as humble grapes and ended with a pleasantly altered world view held a symbolic charm that water could never hope to deliver. In Egypt and Mesopotamia, wine appeared in offerings and royal ceremonies that tracked the seasons. To sip wine was to taste a little witchcraft. To offer it to the gods was generous, diplomatic, and motivated by the desire to avoid unpleasant surprises at harvest time.
Judaism added structure and discipline to the relationship. Wine became part of ritual in a deliberate and thoughtful way. On the Sabbath, the Kiddush blesses a cup of wine that draws a clear line between the working week and sacred time. Passover requires four cups, each representing a stage of liberation. The script is precise, and the mood is contemplative. The wine is there to lift the ceremony, not the celebrant. It is spiritual elevation with well defined boundaries.
Christianity adopted wine and assigned it a weight that shaped centuries of devotion. In the Eucharist, the wine represents the blood of Christ. It is not appreciated for aroma or acidity, but for its deep symbolic meaning. Remembrance, sacrifice, and renewal reside in a single cup. Some communities use wine while others prefer grape juice, yet the message remains intact. Throughout history, a chalice on an altar has stirred more emotion than the grandest wine cellar.
Hindu traditions add their own colourful variation. In most practice, alcohol is avoided, yet certain regional and Tantric rites employ wine as part of tightly controlled ceremonies. These are not opportunities for unabashed merriment. They are precise acts of symbolism, where wine represents transformation and the dissolution of the ordinary self. It functions as a tool for spiritual insight rather than indulgence. The focus is not the palate, but the philosophy.
Ancient Greece and Rome, never shy about fun and festivals, embraced wine with dramatic flair. Dionysus and Bacchus presided over events where wine symbolised freedom, joy, and the delicious tension between order and ecstasy. Despite modern imagination, the symposium was not a reckless drinking spree. It was structured conversation aided by wine, not drowned by it. It encouraged debate, reflection, and occasionally a highly optimistic attempt at poetry or song writing. The ancients understood that a shared cup could unlock a shared state of mind.
Across indigenous and traditional cultures, fermented beverages hold their own sacred authority. Georgian Qvevri wine is blessed at seasonal rituals. Andean Chicha is offered to Pachamama. African palm wine marks marriages, harvests, and rites of passage. In these settings, the drink represents continuity, ancestry, and profound respect for the land – a reminder that life sits atop deep cultural roots.
Take away the stylistic differences and a simple truth emerges. Wine is a small everyday miracle in a glass, a reminder that grapes can improve dramatically with a little patience and the right conditions. People often do the same, especially when a balanced red in your glass gives the world around you a gentle glow.
Of course, everyone knows at least one person who can turn a casual wine tasting note into a theological argument about oak, climate, and the moral duty of proper decanting. When that happens, the best remedy is to drink more wine. You will find peace, and even the most agnostic person in the room will hear the angels sing.
