WITH the exciting combination of ingredients in this dish, we need a wine that can hold up to, but not conflict with, the different flavours.

Three Stones Sauvignon Blanc 2005 is a well structured wine with solid gooseberry and grapefruit flavours that are underpinned with delightful mineral overtones and mouth watering acidity which leaves the palate clean and prepared for the next delicious mouthful of BBQ Chicken. Find it at www.purplewine.co.uk for £9.95.

IT IS sometimes easy to forget the quality, charm and style of German Wines.

Try Udenheimer Goldberg Scheurebe Eiswein 2003 with this dish; it is made from individually hand-picked grapes and complements the fruits in this dessert perfectly.

Luscious and light with soft honeyed fruits and balanced acidity, find it at www.purplewine.co.uk priced £11.95.
