CHAMPAGNE & SPARKLING WINES

Albert Beerens, Brut, 1998
Rich, layered flavours of biscuit, ripe fruit and warm yeast. All this and bubbles too.
Veuve Cliquot, La Grand Dame 1993
One of the richer styled deluxe champagnes resulting from a high proportion of Pinot Noir and some oak aged wine in the blend adding greater complexity.
Bloomsbury, Ridgeview Estate, 1998
Delicious, English, sparkling wine runs the risk of overtaking some of the better champagnes in depth and flavour.
Prosecco Santo Stefano, Ruggieri, Italy
This is the first Prosecco ever to be awarded the Agricola's coveted "Tre Bicchieri"; delicate scents of ripe peaches and apples with a gentle sparkle.

ROSÉ

Bandol 2000 Rose Domaine Suffrene
This is a gorgeously fruity, grapey rose with terrific clarity and focus.

WHITE WINES

San Vicenzo Anselmi, 2000
Ripe and full flavoured with honeyed characteristics. A wonderful wine from the Soave region.
Boland Chenin Blanc 2001, South Africa
Exactly what Chenin is all about. Bright and racy with lots of fresh green fruit and just a hint of sweetness on the nose, very similar in style to Sauvignon Blanc.
Churton Sauvignon Blanc 2002
Gloriously pungent, rich sauvignon - the next Cloudy Bay?
Meursault Les Tessons 1999, Michael Bouzereau
Intnese, buttery and delicately oaky chardonnay. Delicious ripe and weighty texture on the palate, and emerges a core of mineral acidity to complete the balance.

RED WINES

Chinon, Clos de la Cure, 1999, Joguet
Charles Joguet is irrefutably the finest grower of Cabernet Franc in Chinon, and arguably the whole of the Loire Valley. This sensual wine is laden with heady strawberry and summer fruit flavours.
Gigondas 1998, Domaine du Pesquier
Classical, old-fashioned sexy Gigondas, dangerously easy to drink.
Chateau du Pavillon, 1998, St. Emilion
Nicely mature, richly-fruited Bordeaux
Rocca Guiccardo Chianti Classico Riserva 1998, Barone Ricasoli, Italy 1999
Winner of the Cantina Dell'Anno 2002, this reserve is classic chianti with a ripe cherry fruit flavours, spicy complexity and soft tannins, all entwined to create that unmistakable Tuscan style.
