Flying Chickens, Clay Amphoras, and the Spirit of Godalming with Emily of The Peppered Pear Pantry
Episode notes
What happens when you bring together a Sicilian red fermented in ancient clay vessels and a local shopkeeper with a talent for finding life’s finest little treats?
Quite a delicious conversation, as it turns out.
In this episode of the Trinkfluss Wines Podcast, Matteo and Bastian are joined by Emily, owner of The Peppered Pear Pantry on Godalming High Street - a shop filled with carefully chosen treats, thoughtful ingredients, and the kind of things you didn’t know you needed until you spotted them on the shelf.
Emily shares her journey from running a high-energy, 180-cover restaurant and international art gallery in London to creating a slower, more considered neighbourhood space here in Surrey. We talk about her family’s deep connection to biodynamic farming in Sussex, heritage breed chickens with a surprisingly strong sense of self-preservation, and the joy of sourcing products with a genuine story behind them.
And because this is still Trinkfluss, there is something suitably delicious in the glass. Bastian pours COS Pithos 2022 from Sicily - a wine made from Nero d’Avola and Frappato, fermented and aged in traditional clay amphora.
Rather than turning it into a formal tasting, the wine becomes part of the conversation: bright, earthy, quietly beautiful, and very happy alongside the truffled Brie and French butter crisps Emily brings to the table.
A conversation about food, wine, farming, family stories, local shops, and the pleasure of choosing things with care.
Pour a glass, open something delicious, and join us.
