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.

The weather and the news (gawd!) may be dire but things are really starting to look up in the shops. PSB (purple sprouting broccoli) in my local greengrocer @regthe_veg yesterday. Which also has brilliant pink forced rhubarb (perfect for a homemade cordial), sweet blood oranges (sooo good with fennel) and all kinds of other delicious citrus. Maybe I’ll make lemon curd ...now there’s a thought ...💛 What makes you happy at this time of year? . . . #broccoli #purplesproutingbroccoli #greens #vegetables #veggies #eatlocal #eattheseasons #clifton #bristolIf any day is a day for comfort food it’s a Sunday, particularly these endlessly gloomy February days. So what could be more cheering than @fergushenderson’s Welsh rarebit which you may have had at @st.john.restaurant. There’s a brilliant trick to making it which means you can prep the topping ahead. Oh, and obviously make sure you have a full bottle of Worcestershire sauce. The recipe, from the wonderful Book of St John, is up on the website now (click link in my bio).

Anyway I spotted this in @piccadillywaterstones on Thursday and demolished it in 24 hours. If you haven’t read it it really is PURE JOY - scintillating, insightful, human, laugh-out-loud funny. The chapter on reading, ‘On Rapture’ says it all. . . . #books #bookstagram #journalism #noraephron #bookloverIs there any better match for a great chardonnay (in this case Stephane Tissot’s 2005 Les Graviers from the Jura) than poulet de Bresse and chips? (Don’t even argue!) Thanks @twolightslondon for an EPIC dinner. #guest. . . . #chardonnay #jura #stephanetissot #roastchicken #pouletdebresse #wine #winedinner #winepairing #foodandwine #twolights #shoreditch Follow on Instagram
