What works best with...

Seafood Dishes?

Laithwaite Sauvignon Blanc 2006 - Perfect on its own, with goat's cheese tart or seafood, it's best enjoyed young while all the tongue-tingling flavours are at their brightest ... your guests will love you for sharing this!.
Emmanuel Dampt Chevalier d'Eon 2004 - Very Chablis like in style with aromas of citrus and sweet gooseberry leading to the full, round palate of great Burgundy.
Von Buhl Riesling QBA 2005 - Elegantly pairing Riesling's lightness of touch with ripe, full-flavoured fruit. Luscious, not sweet, yet zippy too, and with a delightful echo of peaches and pears.
Myskhako Estate Chardonnay Karaburnu 2003 - With an enticing citrus, buttery nose, this rich, creamy Chardonnay is well-structured with a delicious hint of vanilla and oak.
Patrimonio Santiago Graffigna Viognier 2005 - Pale and bright with mountain-fresh nose of green apple and honeysuckle. Crisp light fruit and a long, expensive-seeming, minerally finish.

Roasts?

Serret Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 - Blackcurrant and forest fruits flavours edged with a hint of savoury green pepper. A medium-bodied, long lasting mouthful that's especially recommended with hearty stews.
Chateau Verbois Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 -intense cassis and fresh herb flavours courtesy of old vine Cabernet and Merlot. And it's really delicious! Definitely one to snap up while stocks remain.
Finca Olcadia Merlot 2004 - Plump and juicy with dark, berry fruit flavours and velvety tannins. The generous 14% alcohol is well balanced by the richness of the fruit.
Domaine Touzot 2004 - Barrel-fermentation in new oak barrels has added a layer of rich, creamy vanilla to the powerful, apricot fruit, beautifully balanced by a tang of citrus freshness.

Vegetarian Dishes?

Albastrele Pinot Grigio 2006 - Rich green-gold with floral apple and pear aromas. Intense citrus and stone fruit flavours make for truly mouthwatering enjoyment.
Domaine Chapitre 2003 - Rich, well-balanced and darkly fruity, the Syrah adds the deep cassis flavours and intense colours whilst the Grenache adds the big brambly, velvety textures.
Réserve de Gassac 2003 - Almost uneconomical yields and a cool microclimate have helped concentrate the glinting gold colour and intense flavours - opulent tangerine, pear and peach. And with its honeysuckle and apricot perfumes, this rich new vintage is dinner party quality.
Cour des Consuls Negrette Rosé 2005 - Fabulously rich colour with fresh strawberries and cream perfume and a really juicy, red berry palate finishing refreshing and pure.

Pasta and Pizza?

Farnese Merlot 2004 - This beautifully soft, plum-and-chocolate Merlot is wonderfully succulent thanks to gentle ageing in French barrels. Rich damson and forest fruit aromas and ripe blackberry flavours. Delicious with pasta, pizza and roasts.
Los Rosales Sauvignon Blanc 2005 - Intensely fresh with crisp flavours of grapefruit, green apples and tropical fruit. Wonderful as an aperitif and when paired with crab, grilled trout or mild Asian cuisine.
Altogrado Garnacha 2004 - Take a huge, juicy mouthful and savour the ripe, brambly fruit, satin-smooth texture and luscious oak. Deep cherry red colour, ripe Garnacha flavour - warm and peppery. Nicely balanced with good weight, structure and a powerful, fruit-driven finish. Enjoy with barbecues, pizza or roast pork.
McLeans Farm Barossa Chardonnay 2005 - Succulent, golden Barossa Chardonnay packed with tropical fruit and imbued with subtle layers of sweet vanilla. An elegant, refined masterpiece.
Sinclair Estate Oak Matured Merlot 2004 - Gorgeous ripe plum and liquorice flavours - the perfect partner for Welsh lamb or mature farmhouse cheddar. Enjoy with meat-based pasta dishes too.

After dinner cheese?

Von Buhl Riesling QBA 2005 - The vintage (very sunny with a short, early harvest) was, according to one local expert perfect! One of the best in the last 50 years.
Ramirez de Velazco Bonarda Shiraz 2005 - Vibrant, deeply flavoured wine with mouthfuls of raspberry, black cherry and spiced plum.
L'Escarelle Sauvignon Blanc 2003 - Pale colour with yellow, green hues. Aromas of tropical fruits and melon with a citrus-fruit palate and clean finish. Serve slightly chilled, this is perfect as an aperitif or with salads and grilled fish.
Tololo Elqui Syrah 2005 - Seductive aromas of bramble, liquorice and white pepper lead to a deep, dark berry fruit flavour. Full bodied and intense thanks to unique, high altitude fruit. Deliciously moreish.

Chocolate and desserts?

Estancia de Carodilla Malbec 2005 - Smoky, wild blackberry flavours and a luxurious richness.
Ramirez de Velazco Bonarda Shiraz 2005 - Vibrant, deeply flavoured wine with mouthfuls of raspberry, black cherry and spiced plum.
Il Taglio NV - Made from the same Muscat grape as the region's sparkling wines and bottled young to preserve its exceptional freshness, it's an amazing taste sensation: Aromas of fresh grapes, honey and citrus fruits. Crisp, zesty and very slightly off-dry. A wine that demands a second glass.
