Matching Food and Wine: Spaghetti Bolognese!

Wine Blast with Susie and Peter

It's a mid-week classic. But the BIG question is: what wines work best to make your spag bol taste like MAGIC?!
We tackle this weighty issue like the true gannets we are, featuring some delicious Italian reds (Montepulciano + Valpolicella Ripasso) as well as more quirky pairings, from a South African Syrah to a Chilean Pais.
All the while talking through WHY things work as much as the specific wines themselves. (Oh, and there's mention of Pinky and Perky too - listen to find out more...)
Pairing wines with everyday dishes is really fun. Have a go yourself! Let us know what weird and wonderful discoveries you make.
Meantime, here are the wines featured in this episode:

• Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2019, Italy, 13.5% (from £9.99)
