Wine and curry?? Absolutely, yes!!
The tropical fruit flavours present in white grapes such as chenin, sauvignon, riesling or gewürztraminer can be just the ticket for your spicy tomato based rogan josh.
Is a creamy tikka masala more your cup of tea? How about the red fruits of Barbera, Beaujolais gamay or maybe you fancy the fresh apricot of a dry chenin?

Thai green curry, with powerful, peppery ginger and coriander, needs something crisp and fruity to stand up to it, a Languedoc cinsault rosé blend, bubbly chenin from the Loire or a Southern vermentino (rolle!) might be just what you need!

Finding a perfect pairing for a vegetarian version of a classic dish can sometimes be tricky, but fear not, we've got some recommendations ready for you!

A punchy red can be just the ticket with a hearty rich aubergine lasagne, southern Rhone valley reds (Châteauneuf-du-Pape for example) a Fitou from Languedoc-Roussillon, or a crisp rosé can be just the ticket, on a hot summer's day!

Rhone valley or Bordeaux whites fit perfectly between the acidity of tomatoes and creamy mozarella, or again rosé, but maybe this time from Provence?

A velvety mushroom stroganoff, in red wine sauce, marries perfectly with a Médoc red, Cahors Malbec or a pinot noir from Burgundy.

Stay with us this summer for more wine pairing tips and fun facts about wines from France and Italy!

La Syrah, red rich fruits, often with a hint of spice or pepper, frequently blended with other grapes to benefit from it's deep red colour and rich tanins.

The birthplace of syrah is widely believed to be the Northern Rhone, with West bank appelations such as Saint Joseph, Côte-Rôtie and Crozes-Hermitage on the east bank, known to be some of the best in the world.

An important distinction between Rhone valley reds is that in the Southern Rhone, south of Valence, grenache is the dominant grape, but more on that later!

Stay tuned for a summer of fun facts about wines of France and pairing tips for your favourite recipes!

Chardonnay can be a somewhat divisive grape to some, but did you know that almost all Burgundy whites (with the exception of Saint Bris sauvignon, for example) are made using this majestic white grape, including our beloved chablis!?

Do you know your grapes, but struggle to know which regions of France to find them?
France labels wines in the 'old world' style, by region, not grape, because who wouldn't know which grapes came from which region?!

Such was the importance of the 'terroir' and 'climat' that grapes would be grown in the right villages and regions, so knowledge of the appelations was and still is essential to find the style of wine you are looking for!

Gamay is most often associated with cooler climates, the Loire valley, Beaujolais, Jura, Savoie and Haute Savoie, but can be found in Southern regions too. Typically lighter wines, but unfortunately associated with thin, unflavourful wine to some, a juicy red gamay from a good producer is one of our favourites, especially in summer!

We particularly like Fleurie and Morgon in Beaujolais, Macon-Pierreclos in Burgundy, but we also find them by Lac Léman, just a short drive from where we are in Morzine!

Who's a fan of a juicy gamay, with delicious red fruits on the nose and the pallet?

Barbecue season is upon us, but what do we reach for, when the sun is beating down?

Younger, fruitier reds will pair perfectly with grilled red meats, fresh mineral whites will cut through the fat of our favourite flame grilled pork, and grilled summer vegetables marry perfectly with a crisp Southern rosé or a Loire Valley white.

Irancy is a relatively small and lesser-known appellation within Burgundy, resulting in limited production, with a certain exclusivity and uniqueness associated with Irancy wines.

We have enjoyed the wines of Vignoble Angst since the very beginning of The Chef's Cellar, which have converted to organic production in the last couple of years.

Gavi Del Comune Di Gavi Bio “Massimiliano” 2018

When we were sourcing our red Piemonte wines in summer, we asked the producers where we should go for the best Gavi in Italy.

"Marchese Luca Spinola" was the answer, we certainly weren't disappointed. You can find all four of their wines on our online shop, all their wines are organic or natural.

"clear and brilliant, intense straw yellow in color with discreet greenish reflections. Persuasive, intriguing, complex perfume, with notes of fresh exotic fruit perfectly integrated with a delicate hint of wood. Soft, broad, warm and satisfying taste.
