2006, Vacqueyras 'Cuvée de l'Ermite', Château de Montmirail, Rhône, France

Instead of putting in a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which, in my view, can be over-priced, often banking in on the name rather than the quality of the wine, I have decided to go with Vacqueras where I think there is excellent value to be found. Slightly lighter appellation in the Rhone, there is good concentration of black fruits with the red fruits adding some freshness.

2006, Valpolicella Superiore 'Campo Prognai', Latium Morini, Veneto, Italy

These have quite similar refreshing red fruits and velvety tannins. Both should be drunk with food and would do no harm from being opened a couple of hours before drinking.
