Sparkling wine case, £73
3:11pm Thursday 17th May 2007
The great thing about sparkling wine is that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg to drink it - unlike Champagne.The Champenoise are well known for their marketing expertise and have missed no opportunities to charge a fortune for so called "deluxe" cuvees and other apparently "rare" wines.The power of market forces knows no bounds as always. Luckily, sparkling wine (made by exactly the same method as Champagne) tastes riper, is less tongue searingly dry and doesn't cost anything like as much money, which of course all adds up to drinking pleasure.
Mixed Burgundy case, £121
12:35pm Friday 11th May 2007
The thing about Burgundy is that no one else can make wines like it. In these hallowed soils, in the hands of a good grower, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are made into sublime and complex wines. What's the secret? Scientists have prowled around the vineyards, noted the exposure of the slopes, measured the microclimates and analysed the soils - and still they don't know what makes Burgundy so good. Perhaps some things are best enjoyed and not understood!
Reisling case, £91
3:57pm Thursday 3rd May 2007
Is Riesling the world's best white grape variety?Certainly many in the wine trade think so, citing qualities like "vibrancy", "nerviness" and that classic piercing quality that makes the wines so incredibly fresh and clean even if they are off dry.And with so many different styles and countries producing wine from this grape variety there is something for everyone here. These are lovely wines that are perfect for drinking at this time of the year.
Great value blend reds case, £56
2:26pm Thursday 26th April 2007
The blending of different grape varieties together adds interest, complexity and diversity to a wine. This ancient practise started off in the Old World where winemaking was originally (and still often is passed down from father to son. Over time traditional blends developed (Bordeaux being a classic example) and were endorsed by the Appellation Controlee system in France and its equivalents elsewhere. In the New World though, experimentation is the name of the game and many unusual matches have made for even greater diversity in the world of wine.
