CÔTES du VENTOUX “Les Traverses” 2004 The Ventoux is a Grand Vin de Rhone, meaning that it is one or two steps up from your average Côtes du Rhône, and it's rather splendid. 20% Syrah & 80% Grenache, it certainly packs a punch at 13.5% although is not as heavy as some wines at that strength. We had it with our Christmas Turkey and my Dad thought it was scrummy! |

ALDRIDGE ESTATE Shiraz Merlot, South East Australia, 2004 Having tried an Australian Shiraz/Merlot blend four or five years ago, and been struck so much as to remember (which for me is no mean feat), it has taken me until now to find another one. Priced very reasonably, I think this is about as easy drinking as it gets. Plenty of fruit, but enough Shiraz pepper, it goes down well with any meat dish - enjoy. |

SANTA LUISA MALBEC - Argentina 2005 Argentina's Signature grape, Malbec, has great fruit characteristics and this wine is "bursting" with ripe red fruit flavours. Malbec is always dark & rich with ripe damsony flavours. Another Winner at a fab price! |

OLD COACH ROAD SAUVIGNON BLANC, Nelson, New Zealand -
2005 Nelson is a small but fast-growing region just to the west of the Marlborough district in the North of NZ's South Island. It gets a little more Autumn rain than its famous neighbour and this can hinder ripening. That will reduce the sweetness that sometimes is evident in the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc's - More to my liking. |

CORTESE IGT PROVINCI DI PAVIA "SENTITO" - Lombardy,
Northern Italy The Cortese grape is mainly used for the production of the high quality Gavi wines but is widely grown in the Oltrepo region. Generally this modern style of Cortese has a good level of acidity, full ripe fruits, lemony zesty characteristics and modern packaging. This has 15% Riesling to soften things up a bit. |

CRYSTAL BROOK UNOAKED CHARDONNAY - 2006 - South Australia I'm a fan of Australian Chardonnay, but only when they leave out the Oak. Look out for the Pineapple and melon flavours. As with many Antipodean wines, the screw-top (or Stelvin top) means that it can go back in the fridge for the next time, although that doesn't happen very often in our house! |
