…Penedes, Jumilla, Yecla, Mallorca or Madeira we will serve them a little cooler. The same rule applies to young red wine. And, we will not need to vary the temperature to serve bodied white wines or those that have been aging (as the amazing Viña Tondonia Crianza white wine). If someone still has not tasted it, do not leave it for later, because it is worth as much as many good red wines. That's what I will say.
Between 6 and 10 º C : lighter white wines, such …
A can of crushed (organic) tomatoes, 1/2 cup sweet wine ( Madeira), some chicken stock does the trick.
I take one of my basil ice cubes and melt it--yeah, that's how I preserve basil all winter. At harvest time, I select some bunches and whip them up with olive oil and then pour them into an ice tray. After they freeze, I remove them from the ice tray and dump the basil ice pieces into a plastic bag to store in the freezer.
Drop a basil cube into a 12-inch stainless pan, slice a couple …

Tweet So why's there a Madeira in among all these reds? The answer is chocolate... Changyu Cabernet Blend 2011, Ningxia, China (£9.90 currently not in the UK) Has the gentle leathery character and slightly figgy dark fruit of mature but not especially great Bordeaux, plus a slightly smoky note. OK, but ultimately a bit thin [...]
…Madeira from Blandy. Michel and I talked in detail about Madeira before the event, we both love the wines and advocate various styles in a food and wine matching capacity. Not enough people know of the delights of Madeira but in general, it has so many differing nuances from marmalade, caramel, roast coffee, sweet spice, nuts, tan leather and fresh wood plus a gloriously high acidity that doesn't overwhelm food. The acidity is what cuts through fat, cream, spice, rich sauces and strong …

…pairings actually go beyond wine; one course this particular night partnered with a cider, another with Madeira.
Things began promptly with a wee aperitif, a cocktail with Byrrh and a little gin. Byrrh is French, a red wine that's marinated with quinine and herbs, sweet with a nice bitterness, and the combination did pleasantly inflame the appetite. That was followed by crudo, a slice of scallop dressed with sour orange, a dab of meyer lemon granita and just a little hit of Thai …

I recently swirled and sipped my way down a line of wines new to Britain, which included Vermentino (a fresh, herbal Mediterranean white grape), Petit Verdot (minor Bordeaux red), Dolcetto ( Piedmontese red), and Verdelho (white, best known in Madeira). These bottles weren't from some wide-ranging European project, or some new releases from a maverick Oregon hippie. They were from many different producers, but all from one well-established wine country: Australia, writes Susy Atkins in The Telegraph.

…a pleasant nutty component, brown sugar, and honeyed flavors with a mouth-coating richness. Since Madeira is fortified and exposed to air and heat, it will keep for a very long time after you open it. It's far from fragile, so buy a good bottle and enjoy a splash after dinner or as a night-cap. This bottle should last me a good 2-3 months - remember -- all you need is a splash served in a smaller cordial glass. Sip, savor and enjoy at a slow pace - this example is 19% ABV. Click here …
