COTES DU RHONE - ANDÉOL SALAVERT 2002
Côtes du Rhône, like many French specialties, is a conglomeration
of 5 or 6 different grapes, and each version has different proportions
of each. Just like the French ! I have always liked liked Rhone wines,
and this is no exception. Good deep colour but the wine is subtle and
flexible.

MORANDÉ MERLOT 2002 - Central Valley, CHILE
This is my favourite grape varietal used in Chile - 100 % Merlot really
brings the red fruit to the fore. Merlot's strength is the ability
to make wine of a fat, juicy character, low in tannic bitterness which
is easily glugged almost as soon as the juice is squirted form the
press - Get stuck In!

TORRES CORONAS Tempranillo 2003 - Barcelona, SPAIN
These guys are the most prominent producers in the NE Spain - going since
1800, although only on the international map since the 1940's. Tempranillo
is the predominant grape in Rioja,and only a 200 miles or so east of
the most famous Spanish wine-growing region, this isn't far off the
real thing! |

DANIE DE WET CHARDONNAY SUR LIE Unoaked - SOUTH AFRICA
This is lovely - I had to fight the missus for the last few drops!
Not your usual New World Chardonnay - no Oak makes it much lighter. "Sur
Lie" means it is left to ferment with the sediment for the last
few months - enhancing flavour & emphasizing freshness. |

NIEL JOUBERT SAUVIGNON BLANC 2005 - SOUTH AFRICA Western
Cape
The Book says Passion-fruit and freshly-cut grass! I hope I don't get
Hay-fever. In fact this is really dry and clean - it makes you look forward
to the summer. Maybe I'm just fed up of the rain!! |

WOLF BLASS RED LABEL CHARDONNAY SEMILLON 2005 - South
East Australia
I couldn't get a decent picture of the Wolf Blass anywhere so instead I
thought you'd all like a nice piccie of an Eagle!!
Not their most well known wine this, but I like the blend of Chardonnay
and Semillon - a bit of tang from the Semillon and fruit from the Chardonnay. |
