Let Marcia Choose
It isn’t that easy to make you mind up sometimes so here are some ready mixed cases that can take the hassle out of choosing. These are loosely based on a seasonal theme and will change as the range develops.
A range of lively whites that are mostly light and will be great for aperitifs or drinking with lighter flavoured foods. There is a mix of the leaner French style here together with the fruitier New World. I’ve sneaked in a rose too …

This is a selection of vibrant, fruity reds that can all be enjoyed by themselves without the need for food. They do of course complement your meals, but definitely the lighter, more summer things you eating this time of year. The Chilean and the Spanish are pretty good with barbecues too.
