FOOD MATCH; CHICKEN / OTHER LIGHT MEAT

We are assuming here that the sauce or accompaniments are not too powerful. These are wines to match the relatively light flavours of simply roast chicken, pork or pheasant; with a classic gravy or maybe a creamy sauce. If you are revving up the food then rev up the wine too - see the 'Hearty Casserole' section perhaps
