Wine Shop

At every price level, an outstanding selection
of wines chosen by John Hoskins MW

All these wines should work with gentle hard cheeses (Caerphilly, Cheshire etc), which suit softer red wines or rounded whites. Creamy, soft, mild cheeses need rich white wines - you can try a red but it won't be flattered. So stick to the first few here. For goats' cheese ignore all this and drink Sancerre or Pouilly Fumé!
947	DRY OLOROSO, 'Pata de Gallina', Lustau. Sherry (50cl bottle) Dry but broad, nutty, complex and spicy. So versatile with food too more...	£24.00
948	SOLERA 1842, Valdespino. Sherry (Half Bottle) Nutty, ripe, spicy, with just a hint of sweetness - complex and delicious at the same time more...	£23.00
953	1999 COLHEITA MADEIRA, Justino's. Portugal (Half Bottle) Madeira has been ignored for too long. Medium-sweet and very complex more...	£29.00
971	20 YEAR OLD TAWNY PORT, Sandeman Pale, gentle, delicate. This is very fine indeed more...	£39.95
