Hi Lorraine, time to panic-buy Brunello: I saw a headline from Decanter yesterday that said this year’s crop has been walloped into mush by hail. But the Italian wine-matching idea is great – any excuse to get beyond pizza and spag. very welcome.

Hi Lorraine,

would love to make this a regular challenge. With Italian food you can’t go far wrong as the regional food has normally co-evolved with the regional wine.

Hi Manuel,

Haven’t seen The Ned down here in Mexico, will have to look out for it next time I’m up in the ‘fast.

Hi Julian,

that sounds like a great idea, a great way to get some more link-love and celebrity status for the food bloggers out there

“The Twenty Major of food blogging”

that’s probably the best thing anyone has ever said about WDF. Thanks for that!

as for a NZ sauvignon blanc may I suggest The Ned by winemaker Brent Marris . It’s fantastic and is available for about £8 to £10 a bottle. That said the Saint Clair is a good un too…..
