Wine with Leslie: Here are the wines I will be sipping this Christmas and New Year

Selections this week include the Tommasi Lugana which I think would make a fine match for shellfish such as crab claws or lobster on the Christmas table. 

From now until Christmas I will be suggesting some of my favourite wines to suit not just Christmas Dinner but most of the other food we eat in a typical December.

In next week’s ieFood magazine, free with next Saturday’s Irish Examiner, I suggest pairing Christmas dinner with a red and white Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the same producer. This got me thinking that you could do the same with a rich Amarone and perhaps a fruity Soave or Lugana from a Veneto producer.
