It’s funny how wine can
be like an old friend. For example, there’s always that pal who is up for
anything, fits well into any social situation and gets along with everyone. Some
wines are the same way – they are approachable and friendly, they pair well
with most foods and can hold their own in most occasions, whether at a dinner
party or a BBQ.

So, when trying to
find a pairing for Good Food's seafood cataplana, a
classic Portuguese stew made in a special copper vessel, we quickly turned
to the Casa
Santos-Lima Tinto of the Vinho Regional Lisboa appellation. Bright and lively,
this wine is like the social butterfly at the party. It’s the perfect fit for the
festive cataplana, a versatile family-style dish brimming with local prawns and
cooked in an aromatic base of saffron, tomatoes and peppers. The fresh and juicy
Casa Santos-Lima Tinto, a blend of red indigenous varietals Touriga Franca and Castelão,
plus Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, mingles nicely with the warmth and spice of
the cataplana.
