Wine Recommendations
19 Answers
I would like to serve complimentary wines with a meal I am cooking tomorrow night.
Any recommendations, please? Only requirements are 1) must be able to get from Tescos and 2) not much red/too heavy.
Menu is
Roasted red pepper soup with parmesan crisps
Duck with charred pineapple and coconut
Ceviche of Tuna and scallop with bloody mary jelly
Pink Champagne sorbet
Fillet steak with madeira, caramelised shallots and dauphinoise spuds
White choc mousse with raspberry coulis, raspberry sherbet and pink peppercorn shortbread.

I think sweet red dessert wines are generally overlooked in favour of white ones. We buy one from Costco the name of which escapes me but I see Tesco sell one called Mavrodaphni of Pattaya. Whilst I’ve never tried it I’d be inclined to give it a go, going by the description. Your menu sounds absolutely delicious, I think your almost sister (she told me) would...

No-one ever got shot for serving this - very decent Sauv Blanc :

Pink and fruity - bit sweet for me, but good for non-wine-drinkers who want a small glass to be sociable :

If you ignore the daft name, this is actually a very nice Viognier :

Sqad, it is a tasting menu and there is a reason for it. I asked for suggestions on wine, not comments on my flashiness or my menu. This is Food and Drink - not CB. By all means start a thread in CB but otherwise, frankly **** off.
For those of you who have made sensible suggestions or comments, I thank you.

Well I have gone for a combination of wines recommended by DTC, Sunny D and Lady CG. Lady CG, I shall post the recipe in due course for your attention!
For those who posted nice comments, thank you - we dont normally eat like this, nor would I normally do a dinner party like this but this is special and I was set a challenge.
Ethandron, thank you. That made me a little tearful. She taught me that I do have the ability and I should not be scared. I shall raise a little glass to her tomorrow night. x
Because so many of you have given good advice and I cannot choose between them, I am going to give BA to Eth, who made me think of an inspirational cook now in the big kitchen in the sky. xx
