Rioja - and by that I mean red rioja - is one of the UK's best-loved wines and one of the easiest ones to match with food too.

None of you, I’m sure, can have failed to notice just how many different bottles of rosé are now available on the average supermarket shelf. From being purely a summer wine there are now rosés for almost every type of food and occasion and rosé pairings to match.

Today is International Grenache Day, a celebration of a grape which is (often anonymously) responsible for some of the most generous and appealing reds in the wine world.

Chicken with sweet peppers and Tempranillo

Chicken with sweet peppers and Tempranillo

Posted on April 8 2008 at 09:51

I’m constantly amazed at the stream of good value reds that is coming out of Spain these days. Here’s another - La Copa Tempranillo 2005 from the up and coming Campo de Borja wine region which is situated in Aragon to the north west of Zaragoza. It appears to be made by a co-operative, the Cooperative de Santo Cristo de Magallon but is none the worse for that.

OK, OK. I confess, I am THOROUGHLY bored with my own cooking, gave up (sure it was the dispiriting effect of the rain) and ordered from @deliveroo 😱. Of whom I don’t really approve but needs must. Anyway it resulted in a perfectly cooked king prawn pad Thai from @wokyko delivered in 25 minutes. Absolutely can’t complain about that. Tried some of the wine samples I had open with it and the best to my surprise was a @berrybrosrudd Denis Jamain Reuilly #sauvignonblanc #youneverknow. . . . #noodles #padthai #kingprawns ##takeaway #wokyko #humpday🐪 #instafood #foodstagram #igfood #winepairing #eatlocal #bristolrestaurantIf yesterday left you feeling - as I did - as if your response to what is going on in the world had been inadequate don’t leave it there. Here’s another really good list of things you can do from @ywcausa (via @signesjohansen and @abrowntable) Racial injustice shouldn’t be part of the new normal, whatever that normal may be. #blacklivesmatter #bethechange #allyship #regramYou may have noticed I haven’t posted a black square. That’s because I think it’s too easy a box to tick. Fine, you’re saying, I’m not a racist. But if you’re left feeling, as I was, that you could and should do more start by asking someone in the black community what you could do to make a difference. @martiburgess pointed me towards this post from @mireillecharper which is admittedly a bit of a mouthful but suggests ways you can do exactly that. There are other suggestions on @lakota.bristol’s linktr.ee BLMLinks or, if you live in Bristol, as Marti and I do, follow @BlackSWNet on Twitter and Facebook. I personally feel it’s best to start local but do whatever seems right to you - I’ve posted some other links on my @food_writer Twitter feed. Make it your business to know what’s going on and #makeyourvoiceheard. Black. Lives. Matter. . . #regramIf this is your idea of a good evening you’re going to LOVE our prize this month which is a chance to win a six bottle case of a new luxury Côtes de Provence rosé called MAĪA. It’s crisp and fresh with that lovely delicate whisper of a pink we all love in our rosés these days. To be in with a chance of winning it click on the link in my biog (you must be over 18 and live in the UK to enter) and to find out more about MAÏA follow @maiaprovence. . . . #competition #prizedraw #rosé #provence #maia #wine #instawine #winestagram #igwine Follow on Instagram
