I am writing a blog at the moment on you and your recipes so that my wine lovers can try some of them out - it will be ready tomorrow morning so have a look!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for asking me to suggest some wines for the Poisson Grille. Like you, I would love to sipping Cos d'Estournel too but as it retails at £225 - £250 a bottle that is out of the question! It's one of the most complex wines to drink when its young and the 1982 is gorgeous. The wines I have chosen to go with this recipe are really good quality and very sensibly priced! They are available at http://www.bordeaux-undiscovered.co.uk<BR/><BR/>They will bring out the flavours of the ginger and parsley and cool down the chilli. You don't want anything too heavy with Mackerel as it is an oily fish. I would serve all the wine slightly chilled - but not too cold.<BR/><BR/>Chateau Au Berton (£6.74) - this is a red wine and although reds are not usually drunk with fish this one is very low in tannins and can actually be served slightly chilled. It's smooth, silky, fruity and clean - which will compliment the Mackerel.<BR/><BR/>Clairet de Chateau des Lisennes (£5.99) - clairet is the traditional Bordeaux version of rose wine. It is full bodied and has lovely intense, round aromas of redcurrants, raspberries and blackberries. It goes well with Tuna too.<BR/><BR/>And finally, a white, Un-oaked Montagnac Chardonnay (£4.75). This is a crisp wine that has not been aged in oak barrels so it is not like your usual Chardonnay. It has the fragrance of summer flowers, apples and vanilla and has good acidity. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy!<BR/><BR/>NickNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13721320139555814484noreply@blogger.com
