£14.99–£16.50, Cambridge Wine Merchants, The Oxford Wine Company It wouldn’t be summer if I didn’t fall in love with Loire Valley Cabernet Franc all over again. Not that I don’t drink it the rest of the year, but it’s a red that’s been with me for my entire decades-long wine journey as a red wine you can drink distinctly cool or lightly chilled in summer.

“You would literally be the first person in the world to taste this wine outside of the members of the Rothschild family and the internal team.” How could anyone resist an invitation to dinner that included those words? Reader, I didn’t.

Joanna Simon26 minutes ago1 min read£12.50, Vintage RootsAlmost the only thing this organic and biodynamic orange wine has in common with some other wines is out-and-out deliciousness. Perhaps it’s a bit of an exaggeration to suggest El Troyano is so different from anything else (I’m not exaggerating about the deliciousness), but it doesn’t taste quite like any other wine. I don’t know where I would have been with it in a blind tasting.

It may sound odd but one of Australia’s culinary gifts to the contemporary world is verjuice, the acidulant made from unripe, unfermented grapes. Or, to be precise, it’s the gift of Australian food personality Maggie Beer—food producer, cookbook author, TV food series co-host, former chef, restaurateur, and grape grower, and AO (officer of the Order of Australia) among other honors.

£14.95, Yapp BrothersTo celebrate settling into my usual haunt north of Cahors in southwest France, I'm dedicating this week's slot to a luscious little Cahors from the family-owned and run Château Famaey in Puy l’Évêque. It's a wine for everyone who loves Malbec and/or everyone who loves the red wines of the Lot Valley's Cahors appellation. Forget black wines and confrontational tannins, if that's how you think of Cahors.
