"For a serious splash -out (it's available by the case only), try a Barbera from one of Piedmont's famous names. Expect complex notes of tangy mulberry and blackberry with toasted nuts and a vibrant, fresh finish. Bring your very best lasagne." Susy Atkins

"...for a big feast I adore the Nebbiolo grape from Piedmont. We open a Barbaresco or Barolo (both are made with the Nebbiolo grape) and, for a real treat, it will be one from my favourite producer, Bruno Giacosa" Giuseppe Turi, Enoteca Turi, London SW15

Jane MacQuitty, The Times, February 2010

"Sardinia can make great red wine, especially from the carignan grape grown in the southwest of the island, just like this one, topped up with a 10 per cent dollop each of the Rhône’s syrah and Bordeaux’s merlot and two cabernets. What you get is an elegant red, aged for well over a year in French oak barriques, with fine, juicy, herby, red fruit flavours. Give it a few more years in the cellar and it will evolve into a gamey, spicy, mouthful. Drink now until 2015."

Caspar Auchterlonie, Clinton Cawood, Henrietta Clancy, Louis Villard, Stuart Peskett, Julie Sheppard Imbibe Magazine, May 2010

"Lychee and light red fruit on the nose, as well as a slight leafiness. On the palate the acidity's most noticeable at firt, giving way to nicely grained fruit like raspberries and cherries. Lifted, juicy and gluggable, with a herbal/liquorice note in the long finish" Clinton Cawood

"A pretty fizz at a pretty price. Immediately attractive on the nose, with notes of white flowers, lemon drops and creamy peaches on the palate, this should be a shoo-in for summer drinks lists" Julie Sheppard

"Pronounced oak on the nose with vanilla, ripe pears, cooked apple and a slight nuttiness. Full-bodied on the palate with bags of tropical fruits – mango and pineapple – with a rounded creamy texture and well-balanced finish." Henrietta Clancy

"A biodynamic beauty that really sings from the glass with bags of varietal typicity. Green pepper, asparagus and citrus notes are followed through from nose to palate, with a juicy hit of lime acidity. Zing!" Julie Sheppard

"This modern Bordeaux with its simple label would make a good addition to a gastropub list, thanks to its palate of brambly black fruit, spice and black pepper, held together by nicely judged tannins."

"Floral aromas and a touch of lychees and fresh grapes on the nose. Clean and fresh on the palate with lychees and apples. A simple wine that ticks all the boxes: great with food or alone – and great value." Henrietta Clancy

Pale yellow in colour with notes of fruit salad and ripe pear on the nose. Lush and ripe on the palate with a rich mouthfeel and lots of stonefruit – specifically peach – and pear fruit and soft apple acidity. Long, subtle finish. Caspar Auchterlonie

Jane MacQuitty, The Times, May 2010

Long ago a road was due to bisect Paddy Borthwick’s vineyards, but, unbuilt, instead it gave its name to this leading Wairarapa winery north of Wellington and well south of Hawkes Bay. This gorgeous, 13.8 per cent alcohol, dark onion-skin-hued rosé, made from the pinot noir grape and barrel-fermented, overflows with stunning, spicy strawberry fruit.

Anthony Rose, The Independent, May 2010

On the quality side, I’ve fallen for the 2009 Quinta da Falorca Rosé, Quinta Vale des Escandinhas, Yes, a Portuguese rosé at over a tenner, but this deep-hued rosé is a lipsmackingly full-flavoured Dão number made from the touriga nacional grape that flagrantly flaunts its fragrance and body and with such panache that your mouth starts watering as soon as you lift a glassful of its deliciously dry red berry fruitiness glass to nose.

Caspar Auchterlonie, Clinton Cawood, Henrietta Clancy, Louis Villard, Stuart Peskett, Julie Sheppard Imbibe Magazine, May 2010

"An amazing vibrant pink colour ensures that cherry lollipop and strawberry syrup aromas aren’t a surprise. More serious but no less fruity on the palate, this manages to be punchy but not confected – approachableand drinkable. Also features the firts Braille we've seen on a label." Clinton Cawood
