Asking for a friend.

£295,000 bottle of wine stolen from Spanish restaurant’s cellar

But seriously... WOW. Seems like an inside job, if they knew exactly where, in a 40,000-bottle cellar, those particular bottles were kept.

I was planning on poeleed squab and Roquefort tartlets but I’m open to suggestions

Nicely done!

Personally, I’d drink them with just bread and good cheese.

Fois gras would be the most obvious thing to steal to go with the d’Yquem.

With the DRC I would opt for something simple, like stealing a free range chicken (but of course it needs to be a suitable variety, like the Poulet de Bresse). And then if you have a neighbor who does some farming, you could nick a few potatoes to go with that, and perhaps some recently harvested and dried corn to make a home-ground polenta or some form of corn pudding, for example. If you could perhaps steal a truffle for the polenta, to me that would be the way to go.

Then for dessert, best option is probably to just take a sledge hammer to the local patisserie and grab a fall-framboise tart?

The key thing, I think, is the stay in the spirit of larceny but also to not overwhelm the wines with even more dramatic thefts on the food.

Per Hugh Johnson basically, roast chicken or guineafowl, partridge, grouse or woodcock with red Burgundy. Chateau d'Yquem is said to recommend oysters or lobster.
