A tart of leeks and blue cheese is one of the easiest foods to pair with wine. You need really good leeks and good new-season blue cheese. The best wine to serve with it should be unmistakably delicious, with or without food. Shaw & Smith Shiraz 2004/2005, Adelaide Hills, South Australia This is one of the most impressive shirazes from Australia. The Hill and Smith winemaking cousins realised their cool vineyard site could give them more fruit flavour options. The shiraz isn't the been-there-done-that type Aussies have been trying to make for years. It's especially good with the tart, especially if the leeks are flavourful and mature and the blue cheese is perfectly ripe. Serve this to your best wine-loving friends and see if they can guess where it came from.

It is rich, savoury and gamey, and perfect with the succulent leeks and aggressive blue cheese (a good alternative would be goat cheese). This wine would be lovely to drink over the summer - it works with Cantonese food, chicken and anything eaten in a Mediterranean climate.

This Le Dix is made in Chile by the owners and winemakers of Chateau Lafite in Bordeaux; the name behind it gives the wine pedigree and makes it more acceptable to the consumer. It may have been intended as a single release (the name refers to Lafite's 10th anniversary in Chile) but it has made its name for itself. And rightly sobecause it's so delicious. It's the perfect match with leek and blue cheese tart, or with mature parmesan. Available for HK$420 from Omtis (tel: 2333 0241)
