There’s nothing complicated about this week’s wine and that’s the point. It’s just a joy to drink – a big, comforting hug of juicy fruit

This lovely Fleurie from France's Beaujolais region is an ideal red wine for the summer

The estate-bottled Château de Sabazan 2018 is a plush, deep crimson, velvet-smooth red wine with perfumed sun-warmed black-fruit aromas

This sunny Viognier from the south of France is all orange blossom fragrance, juicy white-peach fruit and buoyant freshness

As I scheduled this stellar organic Muscadet in for today, I noticed that it’s National Fish & Chip Day. A perfect pairing!
