This week's mixed case is a collection of well-made wines that are a good match for a wide range of foods and can also be drunk on their own or with light snacks. These are great value wines for everyday drinking that won't break the bank.
The Value for Money Mixed Case costs £47 and includes three bottles each of the following four wines: :
Pinot Grigio Gaudio NV, Italy Crisp, fresh example of this extremely popular grape variety from near Lake Garda in Italy. Great as an aperitif or with white meats and pasta.
Sauvignon Blanc Les Celliers du Prieure 2006, France: Clean, crisp appley flavours make this wine a perfect match for seafood and fish dishes.
Cuvee Caillou 2006, France: Hints of spice with redcurrant and berry fruit, this is a good match for light meats and charcuterie.
Broken Earth Shiraz/Cabernet 2005, Australia: Rich and spicy with full ripe fruit, hints of pepper and minty eucalyptus - perfect with lamb or beef dishes.

I hailed the Lambert Arms at Aston Rowant "a worthwhile discovery" after a resolutely unromantic St Valentine's Night dinner last year (romance — at my age?). Pondering why I had never visited during my previous 35 years as a resident of the county, I concluded it was probably because it was out of the public domain for much of that time, as a training hotel owned by THF.
