They certainly won't let your home dining experience down either and ther are three remarkable reds and three wonderful whites to cover all your courses. With free delivery too, there's no reason you can't have a five star night in at home this month.

2 x DOMAINE CHARAVIN RASTEAU 2013
Cotes du Rhone Villages A/C, France
Carignan, Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah

"Powerful, foursquare ripe forest fruits with plenty of chewy tannins. One to savour with robust red meat dishes. "
John Wilson, The Irish Times

2 x BROGLIA GAVI DE GAVI 2014
Gavi de Gavi DOC, Italy
Cortese

"This is one of those more complex Gavi wines, and is proof of the correctness of what many wine snobs felt was the odd elevation of Gavi to a DOCG, the very top of the Italian rating. Served at the Vatican and at Italian embassies, it deserves a place in your fridge."
Tomás Clancy, The Sunday Business Post

2 x CHATEAU GRAND CHAMPS 2011
St Emilion Grand Cru A/C, France
Merlot, Cab Franc

It also comes from an outstanding vintage, bursting with ripe violet flavours with a vanilla edge.

2 x STEFANO ACCORDINI RIPASSO 2013
Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC, Italy
Corvinone, Corvina, Molinara, Rondinella

"Intense, spicy, plummy with new oak. Bright and well focused. Tart and crisp with cherry flavours."
***** Best Valpolicella Ripasso, Decanter Magazine

2 x BRANDL ZOBING GRUNER VELTLINER 2014
Kamptal, Austria
Gruner Veltliner

"Attractive ripe fruit - melon, red apple on nose, apricot; peach on palate. Really moreish. Sort of how you wished unoaked Chardonnay would taste."
Martin Moran (MW), The Sunday Times

2 x DOMAINE FELINES JOURDAN PIQUEPOULE 2014
Picpoul de Pinet A/C, France
Piquepoule

"Flavours of apples and pears with a touch of lemon and lime - all you would expect from picpoul. Energising minerality and a pleasing, classy presence."
Ernie Whalley, The Sunday Times

2 x ALKOOMI BLACK LABEL 2013
