Tom and Jem have been charged with the pleasant task of selecting a case of cracking wines with whatever graces their thoughts at the time of writing as inspiration. As ther are presently mired in the deep mid winter with this oppressive weather showing no signs of abating, Tom is thinking of some wines to compliment comfort food such as that English institution – the roast dinner.

Bodegas Resalte - Pene Robles, Ribera del Deuro, Spain .

Rich and rounded, ideal for a beef roast or stew

Chateau Garreau, Bordeaux, France -

0ld school elegance and power, perfect for lamb roast or beef steak

Chateau de Fleurie, Fleurie, Beaujolais, France -

A cru Beaujolais with silky soft tannins, match with pork and beef roast and Cottage or Shepherd’s pie.

Concha Y Toro, Explorer Pinot Noir, Chile –

to accompany Coq-au-Vin. Ok, so classically it should be a Burgundy but this Pinot Noir has all the desired raspberry and redcurrant flavours with deliciously supple tannins.

Conde De Jauregui, Joven Rioja, Spain –

the perfect partner for roast lamb and game, brick red in colour, and bursting with red cherry and damsons.

Winston Hill Zinfandel, California, USA –

Zinfandel’s lush deep flavours and soft tannins make it a great match for many dishes. Try with Sausages or Chilli Con Carne.
Concha Y Toro Merlot, Chile – Bags of red fruits, chocolate and cassis, with supple tannins make this Merlot ideal for a Nut Roast or Italian fare.

Chapoutier, Coteaux du Tricastin, La Ciboise Blanc, Rhone, France –

If you don’t fancy a red with your pork roast then this blend of Rhone favourites – Bourboulenc, Grenache blanc, Clairette and Marsanne is a wonderfully fresh and flavoursome alternative. Also great with Chicken.

Chateau Goumin, Entre-Deux-Mers, Bordeaux, France -

Been a while since you tried white Bordeaux? Chateau Goumin’s Entre-deux-Mers is fresh and fruity yet with enough body to stand up to a roast chicken dinner and remind us of what fine dry white wine the region produces.

Mud House, Chardonnay, Marlborough, New Zealand -

For a Fish pie or a Chicken roast, this unoaked Chardonnay will convert the most hardened members of the A.B.C. (anything but Chardonnay) crowd with its lush stone fruits and cool mineral palate.

Runamok Chardonnay, South Australia, Australia –

Tropical fruits and a subtle kiss of oak make this an ideal partner for dishes with a cream sauce and those who like their Chardonnay with bit more guts.

Monopole Rioja Blanco, Rioja, Spain –

Again great with Chicken, but its vibrant acidity and flavours of pineapple, banana and mango make it perfect with Risotto.

A rich tapestry of delights to see you through the winter – available for this month only at a discounted price of £100.

Available in store or on-line.
