Baron de Ley Club Privado Reserva Rioja

The Baron de Ley winery was founded by a prestigious group of Rioja professionals in 1985. They were quite unique in their approach as they modelled the winery on a Medoc chateaux, which was a pioneering move at that time for producers in the Denominacion de Origen Calificada Rioja. This wine is aged in new oak casks for 20 months prior to resting in the bottle for 2 years before release. It has definite claret qualities; the nose is layered with ripe cherry, toasty oak and a touch of cigar box. Lively, ripe, red fruit with dried tobacco and nutty vanilla overtones, round tannins with an expressive woody finish. Rioja wine can be excellent value for money and has terrific cellaring potential. Buy this wine if you like: Well rounded reds, with soft fruit and toasty character, easy drinking for upfront pleasure.

Fed up with "mixed veg"? Want a variety of veg but do not want a load of pans and different cooking times? This one-pot solution will go with chops, sausages, gammon steaks and lots of other things.
Method:
Put the leeks in a casserole dish with a knob of butter or a splash of olive oil and a splash of water, put on lid and bake in a moderate oven (150 fan) for about 30 min. Add the spinach leaves and the drained tinned potatoes(you can also use firm, cooled,pre-boiled fresh new potatoes). Grate the cheese on top, sprinkle with paprika (for flavour but more for effect!), replace lid and bake for a further 10 t0 15 minutes, by which time the spinach will be cooked, the cheese melted, and the potatoes hot.
