Hi Biff. Sorry not much of a cake baking person ( M%26amp;S is usually my friend in times of need) but I did spend the last year in australia working in a wine bar and tried and tested many wines. My favourirte was actually a French Burgundy, medium bodied, dry by Louis Jardot. There are many red wines by Louise Jardot but one that is very good for quality and budget is the Beaujolais Villages. Can be bought in Tesco for about 拢6. Its beautiful smooth, great balance. I have taken this bottle to various family / friend dinners and they have all commented how nice it is and become a great fan. You must try it and everyone will love it! Have a great easter!Would like to know a good red or rose wine to take to friends this Easter and maybe even a nice cake recipe?
rose: e%26amp;J white grenache: goes well with anything
well i canna help you with cake as my baking is notoriously bad (even the birds wont eat them)! but for wine try fetzer rose, its really lush, not sweet but full of fruit flavours - YUMMMMMMMMM
if you going for red maybs a nice mcwilliams cabernet sauvignon, to my mind as good as the wolfblass already mentioned but at a fraction of the price, its really smooth and should please most palates. how bout making hot cross buns?
I always like White Zinfandel or White Grenache wines by Julio Gallo. They're like drinking cranberry juice! yum.
The best cake to make is a Simnel cake which is the traditional fruit and marzipan cake for Easter. Nigella has a good one in her Feast book if you can borrow a copy.
my favourite supermarket red wine is kendermanns dornfelder under 拢5 a bottle at tesco, can't help u for recipes my cakes are a hit or miss so i always buy them for taking to friends just in case they taste awful
A good red is Wolf Blass Gold Label
A Rose (all tend to cheaper wines) Mateus Rose for a sparkly one and for a sweeter fruitier one try Stowells White Zinfandel - its on offer at Netto 拢10.99 for a 3l box
ramada red is yummy (portugese)拢3.89 co op
j.p chenet is also yummy(french) 拢3,99 sainsburys
why not take something that complements chocolate, rather than chocolate itself, which they'll probably have lots of already?
I have a great recipe for pear and almond cake which goes well - let me know if you want it, and I'll type it out and send it over
Beaujolais Nouveau for the wine
Chocolate truffles for the dessert:

Easter is a fine time for a great Sangaria... light and fruity
Easter spells Confetti cake with Creamy Frosting (Or 7 min frosting if you know how to make it) Topped of course with coconut (place in a bag and add a couple of drops of food coloring if you want to color it)
Just thinking if you also made divinity in the different colors to match the cake and placed the candy around the cake for that added EASTER *** look ***
SEW = Happy Easter...
fetzer syrah rose, a deep dark rose, thats perfect with choccy
its strawberry time,,how about a angel food cake with whip cream and fresh strawberries,cut the cake in 3 parts slice the berries save the pretty ones to top the cake spred with whip cream berries then more whip cream layering like a sandwich yummy try giving them some good sangria it is a very nice drinking wine fruity Delicious
Red Truck or White Truck wine...it's the best!
