Fresh cooked salmon with a hollandaise sauce, accompanied with roast potatoes and your favourite veg will partner a good white burgundy, such as our Mercurey D’ Estroyes, 2007, @ £17.99p per bottle.

This wine has a soft but cutting gentle acidity to balance the fish and creamy sauce perfectly.

Lamb shish kababs served up with traditional pitta bread and salad will partner a good old fashioned Rioja such as Marque de Careras, Crianza, 2006, @ £8.99p.

The sweetness of the lamb perfectly echoes the sweet, cherry/strawberry fruit of the wine, and the yogurt of the dish marries well with the vanilla soft oak of the wines after taste.
