 11. 2003 Albanan di Romagna Secco,DOCG l’Croppi-Celli – Italy £12.65
Albana is a wonderful stylish white wine of yellowish colour, which is dry and slightly tannic but has a warmly aromatic flavour. Highly recommended as an aperitif or with lightly spiced dishes.


15. 2004 Muscadet de Sevre-et-Maine, Chateau du Clergy £16.65
Tirage sur Lie-Loire
This renowned property in the heart of Nantes ensures continuity of quality with meticulous production method. The wine has been matured `sur lie2 and has a backbone and concentration of flavour that many Muscadets lack.

16. 2002 Valle dell’Olmo DOC, Abbona, Piedmont – Italy £17.10
An incredibly complex and interesting blend of oaked Chardonnay giving an initial smokiness on the palate, which is then balanced by the refined flavours of the delicate Arneis grape.


20. 2002 Fiano di Avellino, Marianna, Campania – Italy £18.65
A white wine of ancient style and tradition, fashioned with devoted patience. Soft pale yellow with an intense, pleasurable and fruity bouquet combined with a dry harmonic taste.

29. 2002 Sancerre La Croix du Roy, Lucien Crochet – Loire £22.05
Classic Sancerre from a quality producer. A lively richly perfumed and elegant wine, a more controlled and subtle expression of the grassiness found in New Zealand.


32. 2000 Grand Annee St Pierre, Rene Favre Fils, £29.90
Valais – Switerland

I compare this to a top flight white Burgundy, the smokiness of the oak enhances the aromatic and fruity bouquet of citrus fruits, apricots and pineapple with a dense, complex, delicate and harmonious palate.


40. 2003 Rosso Salento, Alberello, Felline – Italy £14.50
Soft brambly fruit from a delicious blend of negroamaro and primitivo, enlivened
By hints of cinnamon and vanilla.

Mature substance.


53. 2004 Rioja, Navardia, Bodegas Bagordi – Spain £25.10

A rich intense wine, with fat and freshly berry fruit flavours and long lasting flavour.

64. 2001 Shiraz, Jim Barry The Armagh– Australia £75.00
Distinctive and full of personality. Packed ripe plum, cherry and spice flavours that wrap around A velvety supple structure.

Champagne

67. Billecart- Salmon Brut £39.65
A very serious and pleasurable champagne. I like the fact this is from a small
Family run champagne House. This Wine has all the pure, ripe fruit and toasty
Flavours you would associate with a Grande Marque.

Pink

Painstakingly produced according to the ‘methode traditionnelle’ from 10%
Chardonnay, 40% Cabernet Savingnon and 50% Pinot Noir
