If ever a winery had THE perfect range for Vinatics – it’s definitely Laborie Wines! Starting with bubbly and working your way through a series of food-friendly varietals to end up with a sweet Pinotage, perfect for dessert – choosing this month’s food matches has been an easy pleasure for Chef Caro.

The Dinner
After the well-behaved elegance of last month’s dinner, I have a strong feeling that we may be going large this month. Lots of wines, wonderful guests and delightful food, plus Cathy and Caro are planning a synchronised sabraging contest which’ll make your hair cringe – it’s all going to go down at Vinatics! If you want to see how last month’s went, then click here.
And – as ever – there’s a case waiting for you!
But because Laborie Wines are the soul of generosity, this month it’s a 12-BOTTLE case, not a 6 bottle one! Surely that’s worth buying a bottle or two, trying a couple of dishes, taking pics, sending us your thoughts??? Best one will win the wine.
Happy October drinking!
