ALTO PAMPAS DEL SUR - Pinot Noir - Argentina - 2006
I have always been a fan of Pinot Noir, and yet it has taken some time to find one that displays all the necessary characteristics, and yet, of course, at the right price. Light and easy drinking anytime.

£5.29 |

WAKEFIELD ESTATE SHIRAZ - Clare Valley, South Australia - 2006
This is getting to the area where I feel you need to have something really good to justify the price. As Aussie Shiraz goes is has all the right stuff; rich and strong with peppery fruit flavoured chocolate. Quite young though, so it needs plenty of air.

£8.75 |

ERRAZURIZ ESTATE MERLOT - Curicó Valley, Chile - 2006
Aah, those were the days, back in the early '90's, when I reckon this was about the only red we drank! Still showing great quality, this is a great Chilean Merlot. Full-bodied and with excellent structure, but like the
Wakefield Shiraz is young and needs air or time in the cellar! |

POCO MAS RESERVA CHARDONNAY - Casablanca Valley, Chile - 2006
In answer to the call ABC - Anything But Chardonnay, I protest. It doesn't have to be that way. Chile has a great climate for producing fruity and oaky chardonnay yet much cleaner than some Aussie fayre. Fab with seafood this one! |
£6.24 |

|
WATER'S EDGE SAUVIGNON BLANC - Chile
Somebody once said, they gauge a wine's quality by how much of it they can drink. Glass, bottle, case or the whole vineyard ! From a low price brand, I was pleasantly surprised by how easily the first bottle went down - I'll let you know the final score!! |
£4.99 |

CARLO DAMIANI PINOT GRIGIO Rosé - Veneto, N.E. Italy - 2006
"How terribly fashionable !" Not only do we start this year with a Pinot Grigio, but it is also a Rosé. Lovely easy drinking - dry but fruity and with a bit more body than the white version. Why shouldn't we drink rosé in the winter too? |
£6.03 |
