Win 1 of 12 Sable Seedless Grape, Chocolate & Red Wine Packs Valued at $80 Each!

I don’t know about you but I have definite taste in fruit. Pears I like sweet, firm and green, bananas I like super ripe and grapes I like sweet and crisp. Sable seedless grapes are an Australian grown black seedless grape that is super muscat sweet-their sugar content is high and is half glucose and half fructose and they are lovely and crisp to boot. They’re a late season grape available from now until March and because of their sweetness, they’re perfect for matching with bittersweet dark chocolate truffles and a sparkling red wine. Which is exactly what I’m giving away today!

Thanks to Perfection Fresh, twelve lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will win a hamper with including a gourmet selection of Sable seedless® black grapes, Chocolates in a Box deluxe chocolates and a bottle of 2010 Sparkling Red from Sirromet Wine’s Signature Collection valued at $80 each all couriered to your door! For a chance to win all you have to do is tell me what else you might match these grapes with! Simply add your answer as a comment to the story. The competition ends at midnight AEST on the 10th of March, 2012. You can enter this  competition once daily and as it is a fresh product that will be couriered to you, it is open to anyone with a daytime delivery address within the Sydney and Melbourne metropolitan areas.

    YAY! This give away is so exciting cuz like you i’m very picky with fruit too :) If apples aren’t crisp I literally throw them out, if bananas aren’t ripe i’ll put them in a brown bag with an onion until they are.

    Hmmm these grapes look so pretty :) i think i’d pair them with the wine and i don’t know i think cheese :)

    Thanks for the chance to win one of these packs!

  • 2. Annie | February 11th, 2012 at 6:59 am | #

    Grapes with blue cheese or any other strong cheeses! Salty sweet combo?

  • 3. Martyna@WholesomeCook | February 11th, 2012 at 7:22 am | #

    Oh how lovely, their skin looks so nice and deep in color! I’d definitely enjoy them with a cheese plate, I think they’d go very well with ripe blue cheeses like Gorgonzola!

  • 4. Lyn | February 11th, 2012 at 7:27 am | #

    Roquefort cheese and Pear Salad, as the beautiful cheese would complement this gift combo.
    Plus I could only afford this cheese once a year!

  • 5. Mandy Graham | February 11th, 2012 at 7:28 am | #

    I’d match the grapes with some ice-cream.

  • 6. Roy Palmer | February 11th, 2012 at 7:30 am | #

    Chilled Grapes at the end of a sumptuous seafood meal served with a variety of cheeses, almond bread and a late picked Semillon wine

  • 7. Karly Forrest | February 11th, 2012 at 7:32 am | #

    I’d make a sweet dessert pizza with apple, almond and caramel topping, with a few gorgeous Sable seddless grapes on top.

  • 8. HELEN | February 11th, 2012 at 7:34 am | #

    I WOULD MATCH THESE GRAPES WITH CINNAMON-DUSTED RICOTTA FILLED CANNOLIS!

  • 9. Milo | February 11th, 2012 at 7:52 am | #

    Quail, quail and quail!

  • 10. Lee-Anne Hayes | February 11th, 2012 at 7:53 am | #

    The grapes sound like they’d go very well with a few things. Perhaps some tasty cheese or with a chicken salad. Another suggestion is to add the grapes to a mixed salad or coleslaw.

  • 11. MartynaWholesomeCook | February 11th, 2012 at 8:00 am | #

    What a wonderful giveaway Lorraine! I adore grapes of all kinds and these black little beauties look particularly good. I would serve half of them with a rich blue cheese, or even maybe make some blue cheese tartlets with a grape and port salsa. I would also try to dry some akin to muscatels, and make rum and sable ice cream. Thanks!

  • 12. Erin@TheFoodMentalist | February 11th, 2012 at 8:07 am | #

    They look amazing! I wouldn’t match them with anything other than the chocolates and red wine they come with. Yum!!

  • 13. Barbara Weber | February 11th, 2012 at 8:13 am | #

    I think they would be great as a contrasting garnish on a rich white chocolate mousse or with a nice creamy light cheese, but really….I would just enjoy them as they are…that is if I could even get near them before they are snaffled up by the rest of the family!

  • 14. kristy @ ksayerphoto | February 11th, 2012 at 8:18 am | #

    These grapes look delicious and i’d love to treat my mum to that bottle of red! I’d most likely use the grapes for a grape and rosemary foccacia or schiacciata bread – it may sound odd to some, but the grapes are the perfect flavorful addition!

  • 15. Julie Krause | February 11th, 2012 at 8:19 am | #

    Now that would be a great present for my oldest. :)

  • 16. Julian N | February 11th, 2012 at 8:39 am | #

    I would eat those grapes with camembert… a perfect combination.

  • 17. Sonya Nicole | February 11th, 2012 at 8:40 am | #

    I am a massive grape addict so I would pair those grapes with…. you guessed it, MORE grapes!

  • 18. Stefanie | February 11th, 2012 at 8:41 am | #

    Hi Lorraine, fruit chocolate and wine some of my favourite things and so beautifully presented. I suspect you will getting quite a few entries for this one :) I’d have to match it with cheese (it’s a given when we have wine) but not having had these grapes before would love your suggestion on what cheese would pair well.

  • 19. Margaret | February 11th, 2012 at 8:55 am | #

    Chicken, Grape and Champagne Pies.

  • 20. wickleberry | February 11th, 2012 at 8:58 am | #

    I simply love all good food. The fruit and wine combo sounds terrific. Being the sweet tooth that I am and I love most cheeses, my fovourite a good strong English cheddar and believe it or not with that I make small mini (very mini) meringues, it pacifies the tongue after the cheese AND goes down very well with the wine.
    Mmmm. I can almost taste it now. Just close your eyes and let your imagination rule.

  • 21. Cecilia | February 11th, 2012 at 9:05 am | #

    It’d have to be a strong-flavoured cheese for me… perhaps a blue cheese? I would also see how it goes with a vintage cheddar, although that’s because I love vintage cheddars and would eat them with anything. :)

  • 22. Anna @the shady pine | February 11th, 2012 at 9:08 am | #

    I am loving the sparkling red wines lately that Australia is producing.
    I would pair the grapes with an Italian peperato cheese (with peppercorns speckled throughout). The bitiness of this cheese and the sweetness of the grapes would be heavenly!

  • 23. Maureen | February 11th, 2012 at 9:10 am | #

    Those grapes look really good. I know, I never live in the right spot but I enjoy seeing who wins the wonderful gifts you get to give away.

    I love fruit. If I don’t have some every day I get really cranky. Fruit is very good in pie. :)

  • 24. Lydia Borilovic | February 11th, 2012 at 9:17 am | #

    yumm, those grapes look delectable. I would pair them with a lovely oooozy d’affinois triple cream brie … we recently discovered the triple cream version and it is positively sinful :-P

  • 25. katie | February 11th, 2012 at 9:18 am | #

    I’m boring – I’d pair the grapes with the wine, chocolate and a good book and settle down to enjoy!

  • 26. Heather | February 11th, 2012 at 9:48 am | #

    A sharp cheddar cheese would compliment a sweet crisp grape. A burst of flavours in the mouth.Mmmm!

  • 27. milkteaxx | February 11th, 2012 at 9:51 am | #

    Warm scones served with blueberry jam and clotted cream

  • 28. alixg | February 11th, 2012 at 9:56 am | #

    Why a wonderful plater of cheeses of course.

  • 29. muppy | February 11th, 2012 at 10:08 am | #

    I would have to say cheese, or making that fresh bread with the grapes and sugar studded on top, yum

  • 30. phil | February 11th, 2012 at 10:20 am | #

    prawns & fresh garden salad & mixture of tasy cheeses

  • 31. Eha | February 11th, 2012 at 10:26 am | #

    Uhuh! Am turning my back and ‘refuse’ to comment further, ’cause am just on the wrong side of the ‘border’ again :( ! OK, OK: :D !

  • 32. kerry santillo | February 11th, 2012 at 10:34 am | #

    A lovely selection which i would love to try. These grapes look plump and delicious♥

  • 33. J Sherry | February 11th, 2012 at 10:40 am | #

    Sable seedless black grapes, do they need any accompaniment? If so a plate of hand made cheeses and a couple of crackers may just do the job.

  • 34. Cathy | February 11th, 2012 at 10:40 am | #

    Me! A perfect match! Enhanced by some candles, dark chocolate and Greek yoghurt. Maybe some honey drizzled over the yoghurt. Oh go on then, some salty pistachios too.

  • 35. karina | February 11th, 2012 at 10:53 am | #

    Nothing. I want to appreciate the full flavour of these grapes with nothing to taint the taste!

  • 36. Rosemary | February 11th, 2012 at 10:58 am | #

    Paired with a not-too-strong blue cheese, or frozen for a little mouth explosion!

  • 37. Brett | February 11th, 2012 at 10:58 am | #

    They would go nicely as part of warm duck breast salad, washed down with the sparkling red, followed by chocolate truffles & more sparkling red.

  • 38. Melleemoo | February 11th, 2012 at 11:01 am | #

    I love sparklIng red! Yumm! I think I would pair the grapes with a roast duck and make a grape demiglaze. And serve it with the wine! Yumm.. That is of course if any were left after I ate them!

  • 39. Phunk | February 11th, 2012 at 11:46 am | #

    Oh they look delicious!
    If only Canberra really WAS a suburb of Sydney ;)

  • 40. Lainey | February 11th, 2012 at 11:49 am | #

    Definitely with a cheese platter or maybe frozen with coffee after a Roast Dinner of sirloin of beef, Yorkshire pud and horseradish relish and plenty of vegetables. Only take the grapes from the freezer when you start to make the coffee.

  • 41. CathyB | February 11th, 2012 at 11:54 am | #

    I’d keep some of the black grapes to serves with a cheese board of Tassie and King Island varieties. However with 3 cups of these wonderful grapes I would brown boneless pork shoulder cubes and then add equal amounts of these delish black grapes, sauted sliced challots to my oven pot with chicken broth, bit of sugar, good balsamic vinegar and sprigs of fresh sage, thyme and rosemary from my garden. Braise for about an hour at 180 and add some red wine and go again. If around take top off and let it naturally reduce so sauce thickens. Check regularly and serve with mashed spuds and good mixed salad. A good full bodied Aussie red goes very well with this too. Delisciouso!

  • 42. CathyB | February 11th, 2012 at 12:00 pm | #

    PS The Sirromet sparkling red would be served as an appetizer as my guests arrive to add sparkle to the evening.

  • 43. Jan | February 11th, 2012 at 12:00 pm | #

    Have the grapes stuffed with blue cheese and match with a apple sake cocktail!

  • 44. John Tong | February 11th, 2012 at 12:05 pm | #

    They would be a perfect component of an over-the-top fruit and cheese plate. Brie, Taleggio, and Compte for the cheese. Chilled chunks of seedless watermelon, papaya (with fresh lime), the sable grapes, segments of orange, slices of crisp pear and ‘jammy’ figs….. followed by the chocolates – and the wine of course.

  • 45. Lani Kennedy | February 11th, 2012 at 12:17 pm | #

    Slice in half, and serve with quality shortbread and brandied marscapone… delicious !!

  • 46. Nicola James | February 11th, 2012 at 12:27 pm | #

    Some nicely aged Cheddar cheese and some Granny Smith apples, but they have to be crisp, crunchy and almost sour – just how I like them!

  • 47. Eha | February 11th, 2012 at 12:32 pm | #

    Actually thanks to Cathy B – I am certainly going to try her very appetizing recipe :) !

  • 48. WendyA | February 11th, 2012 at 12:48 pm | #

    We traditionally drink a ‘Sparkling Red’ on Christmas day.
    The colour says it all, these seedless black grapes would look and taste amazingly served with appetizers, antipasta and the like, and matched with a great ‘sparkling red’ on a hot summer day.

  • 49. katrina oconnor | February 11th, 2012 at 12:50 pm | #

    what a lovely refreshong way to have grapes in a fine bottle of wine

  • 50. Ann S | February 11th, 2012 at 1:00 pm | #

    This gourmet grape selection would be perfection as it is, just paired with good friends on a warm summer evening with a sunset to die for. That would be heavenly!

  • 51. Lina | February 11th, 2012 at 1:04 pm | #

    This reminds me of my (now passed on) Grandpa overseas who grew his own little orchard of grapes.I remember it so well & seeing that picture of those seedless grapes you put up for us Lorraine, I can almost smell the vine they grew on & how as a child I used to pick them, squeeze the insides in my mouth & taste the delicious warm, fragrant juiciness.As a bitterseet choc lover, I’ve always longed for an apporopriate wine to go with it.And you have both on offer! Thank you for thinking of us!

  • 52. Brenda Gibbs | February 11th, 2012 at 1:12 pm | #

    No fuss.
    No bother.
    A grape off the vine.
    Is truly devine.

  • 53. Hotly Spiced | February 11th, 2012 at 1:15 pm | #

    I love how the products have been packaged. I would make confit duck with lentil and grape salad.

  • 54. French in Sydney | February 11th, 2012 at 1:26 pm | #

    Miam! I will eat part of the grape with quails, cooked à l’étouffée – slowly braised! – to keep all the flavors and the other part with an Ossau Iraty which is a French cheese made from sheep milk (nutty taste)!

  • 55. Cathy | February 11th, 2012 at 1:41 pm | #

    These grapes are perfect with the best Blue Vein cheese,delicious….

  • 56. Peter | February 11th, 2012 at 1:50 pm | #

    It would have to be a lovely after dinner grand cheese platter. Decadent.

  • 57. amanda king | February 11th, 2012 at 1:56 pm | #

    a salad with rocket, walnuts sliced pear, Gorgonzola and the grapes sliced in half – with some crispy skin salmon with a burnt butter sauce on the side – i have just had to move in with my aunt for a lil while, would love to be able to give her this – she deserves it

  • 58. Rachel | February 11th, 2012 at 2:12 pm | #

    I’d present Sable Grapes on a platter that enabled me to indulge on some smoked salmon spread with lashings of creme fraiche on crusty bread. I’d add some baby roma and grape tomatoes for colour and a contrast of flavours between savoury(smoked salmon)and sweet(Sable Grapes). Use grapes to cleanse and refresh the palate after each tasty morsel!

  • 59. Lucy Holman | February 11th, 2012 at 2:25 pm | #

    Stilton cheese to enhance the succulence of the grapes, the silkiness of the chocolates and the richness of the wine. Truly scrumptious!

  • 60. Samantha | February 11th, 2012 at 2:37 pm | #

    Some brie cheese!!

  • 61. Antonietta | February 11th, 2012 at 2:40 pm | #

    I’d match these grapes with Blue Windsor Cheese from New Zealand, for me the best tasting blue going around, creamy, smooth and absolutely delicious. With walnut bread or peppery crackers would make a perfect taste combination.

  • 62. brendan | February 11th, 2012 at 2:46 pm | #

    with Camembert cheese and salty crackers

  • 63. Sylvia | February 11th, 2012 at 3:02 pm | #

    Wow Lorraine, I really like the ideas already put forward of pairing the Sable grapes with blue cheese and the thought of a Blue Cheese Souffle set my mouth watering so your challenge sent me on a gastranomic tour of the internet searching for inspiration. – I came across a “Gourmet Traveller” Blue Cheese Souffle with Walnut & Celery Salad and thought that the grapes would marry well into this recipe but what I would really love to try is my Roast Chicken and grape recipe which includes seedless white grapes but, because my favourite grape is a dark muscatel, I think the Sable grapes would compliment the dish perfectly.

    P.S. I also like the sound of the grape and rosemary foccacia that Kristy suggested – reminds me of the bread at Brasserie Bread – and, like Eha,I too am going to have to try Cathy B’s recipe:-)

  • 64. Gael Macpherson | February 11th, 2012 at 3:40 pm | #

    I would whip up some of the home-made ricotta I make regularly now (from the NQN recipe here a few months ago)and some nice ciabatta and olives. That’s more than a pairing really, but I’m a little greedy.

  • 65. Natalie | February 11th, 2012 at 3:43 pm | #

    Grapes should be paired with a handsome semi-naked man feeding them into my mouth one by one…

  • 66. Kelly | February 11th, 2012 at 3:44 pm | #

    Grapes and lots of cheese are a holy matrimony!

  • 67. christine | February 11th, 2012 at 3:50 pm | #

    A nice camembert or a brie. Failing that, just on its own would be absolutely perfect.

  • 68. Angie | February 11th, 2012 at 3:55 pm | #

    I will pair them with me. Just eat them neat!!

  • 69. Kirsty | February 11th, 2012 at 4:07 pm | #

    I’d pair these lovely black treats with something pure white, such as a delicious goats cheese.

  • 70. jim | February 11th, 2012 at 4:09 pm | #

    Valentines day, my wife and feeding them to her

    Wish I could be included in this competition, but at least you lucky southerners get to savour some good queensland produce with the sirromet sparkling red wine.

  • 72. Maddiee | February 11th, 2012 at 4:49 pm | #

    grapes with brie cheese and crackers!! yum!

  • 73. roberto colombi | February 11th, 2012 at 5:40 pm | #

    with a warm loving partner so we can share them together!

  • 74. Marie Pohnetalova | February 11th, 2012 at 5:41 pm | #

    Cheese & wine – be no ‘Sour Grapes’ about that pairing!

  • 75. Julia | February 11th, 2012 at 6:02 pm | #

    Ah, these grapes bring back childhood memories of sneaking into the neighbours and pinching them straight off the vine – yum!
    I would adore them with a King Island Brie and a King Island Blue Cheese, and some thin wafer crackers.

  • 76. Kaye Azzalini | February 11th, 2012 at 6:06 pm | #

    I would add a cheese platter with the best cheeses i could possibly afford

  • 77. Christine | February 11th, 2012 at 6:36 pm | #

    Definitely as part of a cheese plate or fruit platter. I know – not very imaginative!

  • 78. msihua | February 11th, 2012 at 6:40 pm | #

    Cheese and a naked partner! Oops… too much? Lol

  • 79. Katy | February 11th, 2012 at 8:22 pm | #

    I’d have them with gloriously salty havarti and crisp red wine.. Mmm!

  • 80. Matilda | February 11th, 2012 at 8:57 pm | #

    Another great prize, oh Lorraine,you do spoil your readers so ;-)
    I’d pair these three lovely offerings with my mum’s homemade mixed-olive pate spread on delicately toasted crostini! :-)

  • 81. Fiona | February 11th, 2012 at 9:24 pm | #

    I would eat them by themselves, one by one, and savour their crisp sweetness. After that, I’d drink the wine. if I was still awake, i’d call my friends and tell them what they missed out on :)

  • 82. Colleen | February 11th, 2012 at 9:31 pm | #

    I would definitely eat these with a tasty cheese log and some wafer thin crackers together with a desert wine.

  • 83. VandaB | February 11th, 2012 at 11:51 pm | #

    Your favourite wine along with figs stuffed with marscapone, nuts and various cheeses. I feel a party coming on…

  • 84. maria | February 12th, 2012 at 12:04 am | #

    the only way to eat these juicy grapes are with authentic pecorino cheese. As a sweet treat frozen grapes, yummy

  • 85. Helene Dsouza | February 12th, 2012 at 12:58 am | #

    ah again I wish I could participate. anyway.. I d pair it with some delicious rare beef, a white sauce and french beans.

  • 86. Mabel Ariel | February 12th, 2012 at 2:23 am | #

    Lemon jelly! Or ‘aiyu’ jelly, the Taiwanese product.

  • 87. Katie Hill | February 12th, 2012 at 2:24 am | #

    I would make a rich frozen yoghurt with them. Using whole grapes to provide an appealing look. Perfect for summer.

  • 88. Daisy@Nevertoosweet | February 12th, 2012 at 4:59 am | #

    I just thought about it :) these grapes would also be great with Vanilla ice-cream! Am i weird? :P

  • 89. Lauren Rose | February 12th, 2012 at 9:01 am | #

    The delicate muscat sweetness of these grapes would be perfect for an afternoon sunlit supper!

    I would definitely serve these up to my hard working lady friends with other infamous juxtaposing tastes, the ‘ring and yang’ of food marrying up nicely!

    Muscat grapes with:
    - Rockmelon rolled in proscuitto
    - Sweet pears rolled in olive pate
    - Blue cheese on crackers with a knob of fig paste.

    I would recommend these combinations to everybody (and experiment with some of your own too1) alongside a perfect drop, succulent sugary-fructose and fresh, indulgent produce.

  • 90. Margaret | February 12th, 2012 at 10:03 am | #

    I would make Maggie Beer’s Sultana Grape Cake – using the Sable Seedless Grapes. Of course you would have to serve it with some freshly whipped cream.

  • 91. CathyB | February 12th, 2012 at 12:10 pm | #

    The bright zingy flavour of McGuigans Reisling is great with any seafood dishes or crabmeat cakes bit its peachy citrusy flavours compliments Indian curries, Chinese food and Japanese dishes. I would
    love to have this McGuigans Reisling to serve when my son and his beautiful Japanese wife come for my sushi lunch in the garden. I have learned from Mayuko, my beautiful Japanese daughter-in-law many secrets of producing great sushi. First of all you don’t just wash the
    rice under the cold water tap. You “kill” it! With the palm of her hand and a fine flat sieve she pushes and repushes for ages the rice along the surface, wash, wash, washing it under the running cold water. This apparently takes out lots of carbohydrate – no wonder the
    Japanese are so slim. She cooks the rice by the absorption method and when cooked and cooled and in another dish she adds Japanese rice vinegar, a
    small amount of sugar and salt. I used to just wet the nori sheets but she warms them in the oven – just warm – not hot. For fillings we agree on everything except wasabi! The centre of each nori roll varies
    but ingredients include avocado, batons of cucumber, carrot and beans, smoked salmon, tuna, beansprouts, al dente cooked asparagus spears,
    crab meat and if you can afford it lobster! Wasabi is for everyone but me. I choose Japanese soya sauce in preference to the hot
    horse radish wasabi! I know I am chicken Lorraine but it is just tooooo hot! Anyway all these are prepared and cooled in the fridge where the McGuigans Reisling has reached its chilled temperature and we are all already. Oh we will need to open more than one bottle of McGuigans Reisling with its mouth filling pineapple bouquet to satisfy us with the Japanese feast.
    McGuigansificent!

    I’m making my specialty Eggplant Torte for my best friends who will be coming up over Easter. This Torte can be served hot or cold, it will depend on the weather of the day. Simple tasty with Italian crusty bread and a great bottle of red, Sable Seedless Grapes, Blue Cheese and beautiful Chocolates.

  • 93. wen | February 12th, 2012 at 12:44 pm | #

    Rigatoni with Spicy Lamb Sausage Ragu would be matched beautifully with these luscious grapes accompanied with a glass of the ‘Sparkling Red’
    For the ragu you would heat olive oil in a saucepan adding a diced onion and garlic. Cook until golden brown and then add some thyme and finely shredded carrot. Cook for 5 minutes then adding a can of crushed tomatoes and bring to the boil. Lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt. Once this tomato sauce has thickened add 400grams of spicy lamb sausage cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Cook this for 1 hour. Remove from the heat and pulse in a food processor. Transfer to a saute pan and keep warm. Cook Rigatoni, drain and add to the pan with the sauce. Toss gently over heat for a minute and place seedless grapes on top, adding pecorino romano cheese over each plate and serve immediately accompanied by a glass of the chilled “Sparkling Red”.

    Chocolate!! Choc dipped grapes are to die for, but dark chocolate is better than milk.

  • 97. Ernie | February 12th, 2012 at 4:36 pm | #

    In my to die for Grape salad that I’ve not made in ages, as our vine refuses to fruit these days.

  • 98. James | February 12th, 2012 at 6:27 pm | #

    When I was kid I used to hate any kind of blue cheese, until one day a house guest suggested I try it with grapes (this turned out to be a bit of a turning point in my life :P ). I would pair these grapes with a light cheese and fruit platter, and a glass of the wine on the side.

  • 99. NomesFog | February 12th, 2012 at 7:56 pm | #

    I’d mix the grapes with a crumbly vintage cheese…MMmm savoury and sweet together :) Crunchy and refreshing with creamy and salty!

  • 100. *Veeneess* | February 12th, 2012 at 8:29 pm | #

    The first time I ever tried muscatels was after a BBQ at a winery in New England. The 3 course lunch began with perfectly cooked lamb backstrap and ended with an enormous bunch of muscatels each- this is still my favourite way to eat them!

  • 101. Tine Hansen | February 12th, 2012 at 8:42 pm | #

    I love grapes and gamey flavours.

    I would love these grapes with a beautiful succulent duck breast with crispy skin the plump dark grapes would be used in beautiful sauce.. Maintaining their texture for the lovely sweet pop you get when biting into one.

    Yum now i am hungry

    Ohhh yum!! I think i would have to have a date and walnut log with this for sure!!

  • 103. rhiannon | February 12th, 2012 at 8:51 pm | #

    I would serve them baked in a lovely loaf of grape and walnut bread :)

  • 104. Carol | February 12th, 2012 at 9:41 pm | #

    So many choices, I think I’d have Peking duck with pancakes, spring onions and a dollop of plum or hoisin sauce. Yum, the richness would be offset by the wines’ effervescence. To finish I’d have the grapes over any sugary treats, but I’m definately keeping some to eat next day with a really good blue cheese, a roquefort or gorgonzola.

  • 105. Susannah B | February 12th, 2012 at 10:36 pm | #

    I think I’d match these with some white fleshed peaches and mango for a uniquely sweet fruit salad.

  • 106. Brendan | February 12th, 2012 at 10:57 pm | #

    It would have to go with a cheese platter – mmmm! Gorganzola, Stilton, Camenbert, Limburger … even cheddar!

  • 107. Daisy Spata | February 12th, 2012 at 11:38 pm | #

    Mmmmmmm I would serve them with Brie and crackers can’t go wrong with that…..

  • 108. Kirstin | February 13th, 2012 at 9:15 am | #

    Yum!! They would go so well with a nice runny oozy camembert and a very light crisp cracker. Delish.

  • 109. Renay | February 13th, 2012 at 9:21 am | #

    Oh my! that looks yummy…
    I think i would pair it with some cheese (seems to be a recurring theme here) and maybe some yummy shortbreads. nom nom :-)

  • 110. Susannah | February 13th, 2012 at 9:27 am | #

    I’d serve these with some Branxton Brie…. Mmmmmm yummo!

  • 111. Chloe Canberra Bkr | February 13th, 2012 at 10:17 am | #

    Ooooooh yum! I would have the grapes and wine with some stinky cheese, lots of cheese. A crumbly vintage cheddar and with a sticky orange rind brie like a leister red….yum! If I win I’ll get it delivered to my friend who lives in Sydney, and then I’d come up to visit with cheese and help her eat it!

  • 112. Kathryn Cavalieri | February 13th, 2012 at 11:00 am | #

    Mmmm yummy! Thanks for sharing :)
    I would serve these delicious grapes with an antipasto platter of cheese, crackers, salmon and grape tomatoes. Mmmmmm

  • 113. Dimity | February 13th, 2012 at 11:20 am | #

    I would have to pair them with my home made blue vein brie! The strong bitey flavour of the blue brie would go perfectly with the crisp, sugary Sable black grapes.

  • 114. Rita | February 13th, 2012 at 12:14 pm | #

    Sable grapes with brie served with sparking red just for me.

  • 115. Cathy Hill | February 13th, 2012 at 12:16 pm | #

    Whilst enjoying my wine, I would serve the grapes on their own accompanied with a platter of Water Crackers, Chives & Garlic and Toasted Roasted Capsicum Dips and an assortment of cheeses. Dark chocolate to finish.

  • 116. Thanh Luu | February 13th, 2012 at 4:07 pm | #

    This would be great for a Toga party! So I would pair this ensemble with a hot Roman gladiator ;)

  • 117. Dressed and Eaten | February 13th, 2012 at 10:11 pm | #

    I would match these grapes with pistachio biscotti, blue cheese, walnuts and figs.

  • 118. Carolle | February 14th, 2012 at 11:34 am | #

    This is a cause for celebration, romance is in the air, be outdoors with nature, so get out your picnic rug and find shade underneath a beautiful tree. Nothing could be better than to have your classical French cheeses to accompany these lovely red grapes, dark chocolate and sparkling red wine – vive la vie!

    CUPCAKES!!!!! Everything goes with cupcakes!

  • 120. Stefanie | February 14th, 2012 at 10:58 pm | #

    It would go perfectly with a cheese platter!

  • 122. Lucas @CoverVersions | February 15th, 2012 at 2:58 pm | #

  • 123. Lucas @CoverVersions | February 15th, 2012 at 2:59 pm | #

    Oh, right, I was meant to say what to match with. Vanilla ice cream!

  • 126. Narelle Rock | February 16th, 2012 at 12:51 pm | #

    some brie cheese and water crackers, grapes and cheese together are amazing!

  • 127. Lisa Frankel | February 16th, 2012 at 2:05 pm | #

    Seedless Grapes – I would add my son and I because grapes would be a great snack for us to share

  • 128. Carmel Breach | February 16th, 2012 at 3:51 pm | #

    These dark luscious grapes and decadent wine would be perfect with a plate of hot calabrese salami spaghettini.I can’t think of anything that exemplifies the best in southern Italian cooking hot spicy sauce followed by soothing mellow wine and sweet grapes. I am in heaven.

  • 129. Linda Hynson | February 16th, 2012 at 11:04 pm | #

    Yum with a red wine and a cheese platter:-)

  • 130. Sheree Coleman | February 17th, 2012 at 9:22 pm | #

    Totally scrummy on top of a white chocolate cheesecake served with a sweetened grape coulis!

  • 131. Caroline | February 18th, 2012 at 6:34 am | #

    I would use the grapes to make my own version of Waldorf salad!! Some crisp rye crackers would go nice too!!

  • 132. Jenny | February 18th, 2012 at 11:34 am | #

    Freaky, I know, and I have no idea how or why or when this combination came about but I LOVE fresh white bread, scraping of butter, thin slice of cheddar and seedless grapes. My idea of heaven. A twist on the old cheese and grapes combination.

  • 133. Liz | February 18th, 2012 at 12:26 pm | #

    It’s not a gourmet creation but I’d make a yummy fruit salad! I’d use chopped grapefruit, grapes, watermelon and rockmelon and top it with vanilla ice-cream to make a delightful summer snack.

  • 134. ron lucas | February 18th, 2012 at 7:10 pm | #

    cheese,fig jam,red wine,crackers in the spa with my lovely wife

  • 135. Sally | February 18th, 2012 at 8:29 pm | #

    A rich and creamy King Island Cheddar would be a perfect companion for all three!

  • 136. Thanh Luu | February 19th, 2012 at 3:04 pm | #

    With homemade Vanilla icecream and honeycomb!

  • 137. Nicola | February 19th, 2012 at 9:35 pm | #

    They would be delicious on their own, or perfect with red wine, and a cheese and cracker platter! Mmm :)

  • 138. michele collins | February 20th, 2012 at 9:33 am | #

    me and my daughter love frozen grapes with yoghurt

  • 141. Hayley | February 21st, 2012 at 8:32 pm | #

    Smoked Chicken Salad with a balsamic drizzle would be sublime with these grapes.

  • 142. phil | February 22nd, 2012 at 10:05 am | #

    a mixed cheese platter would be a great accompaniment

  • 143. Katerina Stancova | February 22nd, 2012 at 11:25 am | #

    I would pair them with a fresh baked scone and whipped cream!

  • 144. Stephen B | February 22nd, 2012 at 10:20 pm | #

    Yum, they sound delicious on their own, but to fancy it up a bit I’d go with a blue cheese ice cream and have them with one of the best beers in the world, Rochefort 10 (it’s like a christmas cake in a glass)

  • 145. Simone | February 22nd, 2012 at 10:58 pm | #

    With smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers on fresh multiseed bagels. They would “wash down” the salty/creamy taste in a delicious way.

  • 146. suzanne | February 23rd, 2012 at 8:55 am | #

    This should send your tastebuds into a wicked spin!Everyone loves desserts so how about a
    Sable Seedless Grape butter pudding served with a scoop of rich vanilla icecream!!Yum!

    Brie and pepper crackers make an awesome combination

  • 166. johanna rees | March 4th, 2012 at 4:55 pm | #

    One of my favourite things to do with grapes, is to dip them in chocolate and let them set. Keep them in the fridge and watch peoples expressions when they pop them into their mouth for the first time. A great taste sensation.

  • 167. Alex | March 4th, 2012 at 8:44 pm | #

    i would serve the grapes with a cheese selection, quince paste and some lavosh, along side the red wine and some dark chocolate chunks…yum!

    smoked cheese, mmmmmmm

  • 179. Jodie Harlow | March 6th, 2012 at 4:48 pm | #

    I think they’re already well matched with the 2010 Sirromet Sparkling Red, however, adding an assortment of Australian Cheeses would perfect the already perfected.

  • 180. Margaret | March 6th, 2012 at 9:19 pm | #

    Must have grapes with Wensleydale cheese and crackers

  • 181. tucind | March 7th, 2012 at 1:37 am | #

    sable grapes go great in green leafy salads, I use them instead of baby tomatoes & they always get a positive response. The wine would go well with a juicy steak and a nice dinner always gets a positive response in the bedroom!

  • 182. Mel | March 7th, 2012 at 12:26 pm | #

    Delicious, scrumptious, sable seedless grapes are perfect to eat with cubes of cheedar cheese. My beautiful baby boy also finds the grapes easy and yummy to eat without the seeds. Yum for everyone.

  • 183. Narelle | March 7th, 2012 at 1:04 pm | #

    I love these delicious little morsels halved in a fresh salad of mixed leaves, roasted pumpkin, crumbled greek fetta and drizzled with vincotto. A meal in itself!

  • 184. Karen | March 7th, 2012 at 2:43 pm | #

    Wrap my husband in a toga and pair him up with the grapes so that he can feed them to me one by one… ahh the luxury! But in all reality he would probably start throwing them at me and trying to make me catch them like a seal…!

  • 185. Jill | March 8th, 2012 at 9:48 am | #

    I’d pair them with a nice Wensleydale blue cheese. Smooth and creamy to go with the sweet grapes.

  • 186. Trish W | March 8th, 2012 at 10:15 am | #

    I would serve them alongside an indulgently rich and creamy cheese platter, they would make a refreshingly sweet contrast to the richness of the cheese (definitely with a glass of red on the side) :P

  • 190. Vicky | March 8th, 2012 at 7:56 pm | #

    I always think of grapes as nature’s little lollies – they have to be eaten with different cheeses to balance out their sweetness!

    Hi there Lorraine :P
    I’d match these grapes with bunny rabbit’s biscuits, my bunny rabbit loves grapes but might be dying so he could have just one grape… Poor baby boy… Taking him to the vet is so traumatic and $$$, and if he isnt getting any better, then whats the point?
    Thanks for the opportunity xoxox

    Sable Seedless Grape – My Mouth
    The perfect match!

  • 198. Kate | March 10th, 2012 at 9:24 am | #

    These grapes would be the centre point to a sumptuous cheese platter, which would consist of a selection of cheeses including Gouda, Pecorino, Aged Cheddar, Gruyere and Triple Creme Brie along side smoked almonds, quince paste, water crackers and some sliced sour dough. Finally some good company to savour it with!

  • 199. Ally | March 10th, 2012 at 7:35 pm | #

    I’d match these grapes with a fresh fruit platter…watermelon, strawberries and apples

  • 200. Amanda Gorton | March 10th, 2012 at 7:41 pm | #

  • 204. Leoni Wilson | March 10th, 2012 at 9:15 pm | #

    Picking wine grapes all season, it’s nice to sit back and enjoy the fruit of the picking

  • 205. Rosanna Li | March 10th, 2012 at 11:31 pm | #

    I’m thinking grissini and crudites with tsaziki, peppercorn chicken liver pate on crackers, toasted cashews, blue castello and good company. Alternate each flavour with a comment and a giggle and try not to fight over the last drop. Now I’ve said a mouthful!

  • 206. Vija | March 10th, 2012 at 11:32 pm | #

    I would match them with a mixture of fresh and dried fruit and make a wonderful tasting fruit compote.
