About matching
Are these the only matches?
No. They are our three for the money from what we have. The rule is more about sauce than meat: a creamy fish dish wants something different from a grilled one.
What about a very hot curry?
High alcohol makes chilli hotter, so go low: a Riesling or a cold lager. A very hot vindaloo is not going to do any wine any favours.
Can I bring back what I do not like?
Not if you opened it and do not like it, unless it is faulty. If it is corked, of course. But tell us, and we will find you something better next time.
Rather ask a person?
We are on the shop floor from 10am, Monday to Saturday. Bring the recipe, and we will bring the opinions.
