Francis Albert Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 It has to be an Italian red. A Montepulciano d'Abruzzo or Barbera d'Asti would do nicely, if you want to avoid the obvious Chianti option. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucky Thompson Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Pasta with a tomato based sauce and it has to be a good Chianti, it's the golden rule for Italians:) Seafood pasta and it has to be a Chardonnay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. It doesn't necessarily have to be an Italian wine. Isla Negra(Cabernet Sauvignon)is a fantastic accompaniment to that pasta course.A fabulous wine from Chile. My mouth's watering now,might have to pour a glass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deevers Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Push the boat out and have a bottle of Montes Alpha - a beautiful Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. Very pleasant on the taste buds and an excellent accompaniment to pasta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad von Carstein Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Call me a pervert but...I am a fan of chilled ruby cabernet just now. Forget the waffle about servin reds at room temp...taking the warmth out makes it taste better and its light enough to go with any food. Obv this is all IMHO.

Ulysses Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 If your definition of Pasta Primavera is the same as mine, then overly strong Italian reds might not be such a good idea. You could do worse than Alpha Zeta Pinot Grigio at around ?5 to ?6 a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Can't believe we've got his far without anyone mentioning JKB's favourite tipple for these occasions: Getherpumped-traminer hahahahahahahahaha You need a dessert wine to really blow her socks (knickers) off A bottle of Pedro Ximenez sherry might go quite well with the Tiramisu, not strictly wine but blows away all the myths about sherry which to my mind is one of the most undervalued drinks in the UK market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. Good lad, nice to see. I'm a red wine man myself and would totally agree with Francis Alberts selections. Nice But I also agree with what some others say about red possibly being too heavy for the meal you are doing. BUT its a friday, so get one of each mate! You want a crisp-ish white wine though, not some heavy oaky chardonnay. Most Italian whites are pretty crisp, but dont go for the cheapest, as they can be a bit "tart". Get one of FAs recommendations too - although if it is a special occasion Barolo is the King of Italian reds, but a bit expensive Also Sicilian red wines are awesome. A lot of them leave this amazing tingle on your tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
