Rather than looking a little lost whilst wandering the wine aisles, picking up and carefully replacing several bottles, make a informed choice.</p> <p> Here, founder of wine e-boutique Garmence Studio, Charlotte Calvet, shares her top ten recommendations for selecting the ideal wine for any occasion, from when you need to calm pre-date nerves to a significant celebration.</p> <h2>1. The wine to show your parents that ‘you’ve got this’</h2> <p>You’re cool, you’re suave, and most importantly, sophisticated enough to know that white wines can be seriously good. Chardonnay is enjoying a cultural renaissance – it's no longer a drink for lonely housewives and book clubs - so try a chilled glass of Viré Clessé and luxuriate in its lavish lemon and stone fruits. To note, an oaked Chardonnay will be a heavier wine with buttery hues whereas unoaked will be fresher and more on the citrus side.</p> <h2>2. The Saturday night in wine</h2> <div class="inline-block inline-block-related-single inline-block-right" data-nid="/lifestyle/foodanddrink/garmence-meet-the-new-online-wine-studio-tailored-to-the-fashion-crowd-a3298421.html"><a href="/web/20161124003057/http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/foodanddrink/garmence-meet-the-new-online-wine-studio-tailored-to-the-fashion-crowd-a3298421.html"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161124003057im_/https://static.standard.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/readmore_card/public/thumbnails/image/2016/07/18/16/pia-elsa-2.jpg"/><div class="content"> <div class="context-capsule">Read more</div> <h2>Garmence: the new online wine studio tailored to the fashion crow</h2> </div> </a></div> <p>A classic Chianti makes even the humble take-away feel like you’re ordering a feast. Great with a creamy carbonara, four cheese pizza or even a chicken tikka masala – order food and wine to your door and relax with a Tuscan treat.</p> <h2>3. The ‘I’ve had a bad day’ wine</h2> <p>TFL nightmares, a new coffee stain on your camel coat, difficult meetings and I.T Fails – for those days when nothing seems to be going your way, a glass of Spanish Merlot is like slipping into a silky enveloping blanket. Full bodied and reassuring …tomorrow is a new day.</p> <h2>4. The perfect pre-date wine</h2> <p>You’re nervous? Excited? Or just trying to switch off from the hectic day …how about a glass of Vermentino? Fun, lively and zingy, this Italian stallion is sure to put you in the mood.</p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-gallery"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!--

from Neal’s Yard </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>A cow’s cheese with a rich, buttery flavour and a lot of texture.<br/><br/> I love it with big Italian reds from the Puglia region<br/><br/> Why: The sweet fruit in the wine complements the rich, buttery flavour and its noticeable acidity means the fat of the cheese doesn’t cloy on the palate. This wine also has more tannins than a Pinot Noir and therefore complements the added texture and weight of this cheese. <br/><br/> Try it with: Aged Bordeaux reds, Beaujolais, Cab Sauvignon, Champagne, Sauvignon Blanc, Cider.</p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="3"> <h2> <span class="counter">3/8</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> St James from Cartmel Cheeses </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>St James has a meaty, sweet and salty flavour with a chewy, creamy yet slightly firm texture. <br/><br/> I love it with Gerwurtztraminer<br/><br/> Why: The flamboyantly opulent aromas, textures and flavours of the wine go perfectly with the flavours, body and aromas of the cheese. Gewurztraminer is one of the most cheese-friendly wines – it can be paired brilliantly with cow, sheep and goats cheese. <br/><br/> Try it with: Burgundy red with aged cheese, Burgundy white with young cheese, Champagne, Sauternes, Marc de Bourgogne which is made from the left over pressings of burgundy wine grapes.</p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="4"> <h2> <span class="counter">4/8</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> Ragstone from Neal’s Yard </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>A mild and Creamy Goat’s Cheese<br/><br/> I love it with Sauvignon de Touraine <br/><br/> Why: The crisp acidity, flintiness, delicate grassy nature of the wine complements the creamy, fresh, delicate flavours of creamy goats cheese. Avoid oaked wines as they would completely dominate the experience. <br/><br/> Try it with: Sauvignon Blanc from California, Pouilly Fume, Rose, Pinot gris, Beer, Beaujolais. </p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="5"> <h2> <span class="counter">5/8</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> Cheddar Montgomerys from Paxton and Whitfield </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>A cow’s cheese with a complex, nutty and caramelised flavour<br/><br/> I love it with Pinot Noir<br/><br/> Why: Pinot Noir has mellow tannins which won’t clash with the cheese. It’s ripe fruit and slightly earthy nature complete the complex, nutty flavour of the Cheddar without overpowering it.<br/><br/> Try it with: Burgundy, white esp Aligote, dry Riesling, Sancerre, Saint Emilion, Vintage Port. </p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> <p class="credits">Shutterstock</p> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="6"> <h2> <span class="counter">6/8</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> Beauvale from Waitrose </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>A rich, creamy and sharp and tangy cheese which is salty in flavour<br/><br/> I love it with a glass of LBV Port<br/><br/> Why: Both have good weight and body to them and are fairly complex in flavour. The fruity sweetness of the port rounds out the pungent salty tang of the cheese and adds an extra dimension to it. The youth, good acidity and zest of the port can also cut through the creamy butter fat of the Beauvale meaning it doesn’t cloy and the tannins of the port don’t clash.<br/><br/> Try it with: Sauternes, sweet full-bodied wines, Riesling, Late Harvet wines, Chateauneuf-du-Pape. </p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="7"> <h2> <span class="counter">7/8</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> Corra Lyn from La Fromagerie </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>A firm yet not dry and very zesty sheep’s cheese. <br/><br/> I love it with Fino Sherry<br/><br/> Why: The nuttiness of the fino gives an extra dimension to the cheese whilst the salt and olive briney element also enhances the zest you get naturally from the herbs in the cheese.<br/><br/> Try it with: Rioja, especially Riserva with aged Manchego cheeses, Cava with young cheese, Ribera del Duero. </p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="8"> <h2> <span class="counter">8/8</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> Baron Bigod from Neal’s Yard </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>A bloomy rind, cow’s milk, creamy with subtle hints of hazelnut and fruit aromas<br/><br/> I love it with Prosecco <br/><br/> Why: Bubbles go great with high fat foods since they crisp the palate. The acidity cuts through the fat but the fruity nature of the prosecco brings out the delicate fruit aromas.<br/><br/> Try: Champagne, Blanc de Blancs, rosé, dry Riesling, Beaujolais, Pinot Noir.</p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> </ul><div class="ad-mpu mpu5-container"> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- END scald=5109371 --></div></div> <h2>5.
