With a fuller-flavoured fish such as hake, you need a fuller- flavoured wine, so leave your muscadet in the rack and go for a white rioja or something tasty from the Languedoc.
Do you have a collection of bottles or just a handful? Most racks can hold anywhere between three to six bottles; if you usually have more than six at any given time, you'll end up with an excess of bottles on all of the open spaces in your kitchen - even after making your rack purchase. With a little bit of digging, you can find a rack that can house 12 to 15 bottles, but consider the counter space that these will take up. If you regularly have 20 or so bottles in your home, you should consider a cellar or fridge purchase.Check your local department stores or online retailers for the latest wine rack styles. Many online retailers offer free shipping and have product reviews that may help with the selection process. Selecting a wine rack should be a fun process. Consider it an investment for all the wines you will enjoy today as well as those that you will save for a special occasion in the future.If you try only one bottle from this area it should be their unofficial 'grand cru', the Mas de Daumas Gassac Blanc 2008 (Inverarity One to One, pound(s)22.99, or pound(s)20 per bottle if you buy six). This is a blend of four different grapes (chardonnay, viognier, petit manseng and chenin blanc) making a food-friendly wine. Match it with chicken en croute, pork, veal or hake.The Languedoc is the melting pot of France with every quality of producer growing a myriad of grapes to come up with a diversity of styles.
