Wine Of The Week

[sunny-dave]

Just one suggestion today - I'm working up a full 'festive list' for your delectation next week.

Actually it's a bit of a cheat recommending this, as I haven't actually tried it yet - but I've left my bottle with a friend who should now be decanting it, so it has breathed nicely for our meal tonight :

I've been promised a dry run of "Chritmas Dinner for the Kids" - G doesn't cook very often and so is nervous about the festive season - hence the trial run (and a special bottle from me).

Mikey, Gewurtztraminer and Riesling are 2 very different grape varieties. The former is actually a mutation of the good old Sauvignon Blanc.

However you often see the 2 grapes blended together and if you want to splash out on a nice bottle for Christmas, try William's Well which is available in M&S for around a tenner. It has a purity and freshness which surpasses most of its peers whilst still retaining that inimitable aromatic, perfumed palate so synonymous with that blend.
