Becky Says: “A Taste of Tuscany That’s Close to My Heart”
For me, this case is about comfort, warmth and a little adventure. I’ve chosen wines that bring richness and depth, yet each one tells its own story. The Rioja is a timeless favourite, perfect with slow-cooked stews, while the Douro red has the elegance to carry through a dinner party. The Bedoba is something really special – a taste of Georgia’s winemaking heritage with a modern twist.
The Australian Shiraz blend is full of personality, and I love how the Sicilian red brings sun-soaked fruit into winter evenings. The Cinsault is lighter, but still beautifully perfumed and food-friendly. Together, they make a fireside set that feels indulgent, comforting and just that little bit unexpected.
