I buy it in the vineyard when in France and their “Cuvée spéciale” and “Cuvée tradition” are a must !!! Light, fluffy, it enchants your palate…<br /><br />Any Ruinart but especially the Ruinart pink champagne “Cuvée spéciale".<br /><br />For a cheaper alternative, I do like the “Champagne Rose, œil de Perdrix” by VEUVE A.

Would you like to make a try ? For a piece of Cod, go for a red wine like a Sancerre or a Chinon ? On the safe side, go for a Bourgogne like a Condrieu. For a piece of (silenced…) lamb, try a red wine like an Irouleguy or reveal it with a good Alsatian white wine like a Tokay (I love this one…). Thank you for your visit.

Because when you are talking about a meat in general, people forget the vegetables or the gravy they will serve with… And what about the texture of the meat ? Slow cooking ?, rare one ? Every detail counts then, so it can be really complicated at the end…<br />First of all, I do not do Rosé. Only during summer time for an apéritif near the pool and with plenty of ice in it…<br />For a stew with a rich gravy, I would go for a nice Bourgogne (my favourite is the Nuit Saint-Georges) to counterbalance it…<br />For a simple piece of chicken or a steak, I would go for a nice Bordeaux, like a Pauillac or a Saint-Julien.<br />Regarding the fish, a white wine from la Vallée du Rhône like a Saint-Joseph or a nice red like a Bourgueil.<br />In fine, for my beloved Roquefort cheese (which is terribly strong in France, nearly “aggressive” in your palate), I would go for a Monbazillac, one of the best sweet wine I recommend you (although not too overpowering like a Sauternes or Jurançon might be…).<br />Not to forget a nice piece of Cheddar that I will accompanied, why not, by a nice Saumur Champigny…<br />Sixtinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250017270710976819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773052045443131683.post-91001843616334033132013-05-02T20:33:12.846+01:002013-05-02T20:33:12.846+01:00White wine with white meat and fish, red wine with...White wine with white meat and fish, red wine with red meat.
