Steak
Go big or go home with a bold Cabernet Sauvignon – a match made in meaty heaven and sure to leave you wanting more. For the ultimate Napa Cab experience, try Matt Parish's Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. With classic Napa flavors like ripe black cherry, chocolate and savory oak spices, this is the silky-smooth, barrel-aged beauty you’ve come to expect.
Pasta Carbonara
Keep it classy with a creamy Chardonnay, the ultimate partner for that indulgent sauce. Daryl Groom's Reserve Alexander Valley Chardonnay fits the bill perfectly. A decadent single-vineyard Sonoma white. Rich, creamy and overflowing with elegant tropical fruits and toasty oak, this is everything you want in a big, classic California Chardonnay and more.

Chocolate Cake
End on a sweet note with a silky Ruby Port – like a hug in a glass which will take the chocolate to another level. The Quevedo Family LBV Port is perfect to pair with any indulgent dessert. Red fruits shine through, think of cherries, raspberries and redcurrants with a hint of plum too.

Bill and Claudia Small
Winemaking is a family affair for the Smalls who run a small winery in Marlborough, New Zealand – making iconic Sauvignon Blancs with Angel support.
“We met while studying wine at the University of Adelaide. Claudia is trained in viticulture, and myself in winemaking. Claudia nurtures the vines to ensure the perfect fruit, and then I get to turn that fruit into superb wine.
The only things we really need are a coffee at the start of the day, a beer at the end and plenty of jokes in between. It’s a good life!”, Bill says.
