WINE TO DINE

Wine columnist Peter Ranscombe mixes five sweet and dry bottles to back up Sophie’s baking...

CARTE OR MUSCAT BEAUMES DE VENISE Waitrose

£6.49 for 375ml Not only is Muscat Beaumes de Venise a good match for rhubarb, but it’s also great with panna cotta in general.

ARA SELECT BLOCKS SAUVIGNON BLANC 2020

Tesco

£10

New Zealand sauvignon blanc’s freshness is exactly what we want to cut through the cheesy, garlicky goodness.

QUADY ESSENSIA ORANGE MUSCAT Majestic Wine

£11.99 for 375ml The poshest nonTunnock’s teacake I’ve ever seen deserves an equally sweet treat from California, and a whole different style of muscat.

CHÂTEAU DES JAUME CRU MAURY SEC 2016 Connolly’s

£14.95

Maury in the South of France is best known for its sweet red wines, but this dry example remains ready for coffee cake.

LA CREMA SONOMA COAST CHARDONNAY 2018 Wine Direct

£24.50

Give quiche a chance – and give this Californian chardonnay the chance to stand up to the bacon and leek.
