The Rendezvous is one of my favourite local restaurants. It is situated in Westerham which is a small town in Kent. The cuisine and wine is all French. I went there last week with my wife. We like it so much because of the good quality food and the exceptionally friendly service. We have never had any reason to complain despite eating there a good number of times.
The last time we were there I ordered an excellent starter of mushroom risotto and a main course of Boeuf Bourguignon which is one of my favourite dishes. My wife, Bernadette, ordered fish cakes.

We washed this down with a half litre of Michel Chapoutier Côtes-du-Rhône red. This wine comes from one of the best producers in Southern France. It is full of flavour and the quality is second to none and his wine is reasonably priced. Chapoutier also produces organic wines. I could not recommend this wine more highly.
It goes down especially well with a dish such as Boeuf Bourguignon.
Whenever I go to the Rendezvous I cannot resist ordering this wine and so I order food to go with it. My wife has got a generous spirit and goes along with my wine choice even though she often eats fish.
Chapoutier wines are readily available in good wine merchants and supermarkets. Naturally their taste reflect the quality of the region.

Westerham is near Chartwell and the former home of Sir Winston Churchill. It must be time to to pull the cork on a bottle of Pol Roger.
