Tasting notes: October

Table Of Contents

TO DRINK

Seasonal toasting and roasting

Autumn's on the menu. Start with Abdal 3.9, a Spanish red blend, wraps dark fruit and cacao around any hearty dish.

Chenin-Viognier brightens things up with floral note and a crisp edge that sings with spice or roast chicken.

And this Californian Chardonnay? Buttery, oaky, ready for seafood.

TO EAT

Warming winners

Coq au vin blanc gets a weekend twist with juicy meatballs simmered in a creamy, winey mushroom sauce that's pure comfort.

These Baja-style tacos bring a little coastal warmth to your kitchen. Crispy fish, creamy guac and just enough heat to chase off the chill.

And for a quick, flavour-packed dinner, try this Thai curry noodle soup with whatever's in your fridge.

TO DISCOVER
