Suckfizzle
Sauvignon Semillon 2001, Margaret River, WA
Complex, elegant, sophisticated – the antithesis
of Ted Nugent?
Stella
Bella Sangiovese Cabernet 2001, Margaret River, WA
Australia goes to Tuscany? Combines crowd pleasing fruit
with complex black cherry and spice.
McGregor
Chenin Blanc 2002, McGregor, South Africa
I can do good value too and this was perfect for pouring
down thirsty guests this summer.
Bad
Impersonator 2002, Barossa Shiraz, Two Hands Wines,
South Australia
A couple of steps up the rung in the Two Hands range
this balances elegance and power superbly.
Blewitt
Springs Malbec 2002, Langhorne Creek, South Australia
Brett Howard doesn’t do shrinking violet wines.
This is pretty forthright in its power and has great
depth too.
Riesling
Grillenparz 2002, Weingut Stadt Krems, Kremstal, Austria
Okay so Austria is one of the wine-trades private
passions but wines like this show why it shouldn’t
be.
The
Wolf Riesling 2003, Two Hands Wines, South Australia
My name is Robin & I am a fan of quality Riesling.
I also like screwcaps, as on this wine, which means
I’m pretty much guaranteed I’ll get the fantastic
flavours I’m expecting without cork taint!
Verdejo
Veracruz 2002, Bodegas Veracruz, Rueda
Fresh, scintillating Verdejo. Fantastic for Chardonnay
jaded palates.
Barbera
d’Alba Mezzavilla 2001, Malabaila di Canale
Ripe, dark cherry flavoured wine from a producer whose
first vintage was 1362 – slightly longer ago than
some of our recent acquisitions!
Bourriquot
1998, Havens Wine Cellars, California
This Cabernet Franc Merlot blend is as stylish, long
and simply delicious as they come.
