Nicci Haslam. Chateuneuf de pap is a reliably nice drink, although not cheap. We are drinking cheap an Australian chardonnay tonight though.

Richard Clark. Barbaresco, top stuff, classic Italian, complex and interesting, yet not too heavy or full bodied to dominate your food.

Rachel Hezelgrave. Barefoot Malbec.

Joel Walsh. Whichever Rioja is on offer.

Adrian CmonScotland Ochai. Am a white wine lad. German Hock does it for me. Perfect with a chinese. Usually have it most Saturday evenings.

Mick Hart. Torres San Valentin.

Angela Wilson. Blossom Hill white zinfandel.

Ian Flanagan. Fetzer-merlot.

Barbara Poctor. South African Chardonnay for me.
