    Seconded, except for the numbers in your cellar I'm afraid... Red Bordeaux goes with most food, Bourgogne goes into most food as well, particularly the boeuf Bourguignon of course, but also coq au vin. I like a bottle of cava to go with tapas. White: Chardonnay mostly, though for special occasions I have small crate of light, fruity graves which I bought at the castle of Charles Louis Secondat Baron de la Grève et de Montesquieu. 'De Montesquieu?' I hear you say. Yes, apart from being a fine writer and world famous philosopher of law, Charles was also a winemaker. EDIT I forgot the dry whites I like to accompany fish, and the Entre-deux-Mers in which I steam North Sea mussels, and the young Italian dries that are a treat with some Gorgonzola, and the Ruby Portwine with Stilton. I also drink Chilean, Californian or Oz wines occasionally and they're nothing to be ashamed of, m8s, but if you don't mind I'll stick to the original...

    PS Oh, and if you've never tasted fruits de mer with a bottle of iced Muscadet on a terrace overlooking a Brittany tide harbour, I daresay you've never lived.

    Started out sneaking the cheap jug-wine they used when I was a Catholic altarboy. It was probably cooking sherry.

    For everyday peanut-butter-and jelly meals I like

    For special dress-up-and-use-a-fork meals, I dig deeper and go for
