the reds:

Wild Pig Réserve Merlot. France.  £3.95 £16.00
Soft, juicy and eminently quaffable. A wine which leaves you wanting more, in fact - why not devour the bottle - make a real pig of yourself!

Navajas Rioja Tinto. Spain £4.25 £16.75
This is Rioja at its precocious youthful best. It has a huge following and goes from strength to strength. Be warned though, ever so more-ish and easily glugged.

Primitivo Puglia, Barocco. Italy £4.70 £17.70
Buckets of Italian rustic fuitiness. Like a baby Barolo, but for half the price.

Pinot Noir Jean D'Alibert 2004. France £19.50
Quite a fabulous wine. A fine and elegant red with flavours of cherry and a hint of earth and spice made from the holy grail of grape varieties.

~

the whites:

Wild Pig Unoaked Reserve Chardonnay 2005. France - £3.95 £16.00
Aptly named for us, after Greta, a wild pig, taken in by the vineyard owner having been wounded. A decent, clean-living wine with uncomplicated, no-strings-attached drinking fun.

Pinot Blanc Resérve, Cave de Hunawihr. Italy. £4.50 £16.95
Desert dry and deliciously refreshing - A fine wine.

Sauvignon de Touraine. Domaine Guy Allion. France. £19.95
My latest, greatest discovery. Bordering on dry, but fruity, with a crisp finish. Tastes like it could be the lovechild of Sancerre.

~

rose:

Lou Souleilh, Côtes de Provence. France £4.25 £16.75
Strawberry, summer, Cider with Rosie, Summer 8s – The epitome of summer decadence in a glass. I could live on Côtes de Provence Rosé.

~

dessert wines:

Monbazillac, Château Poulvère. France. 37.5cl  £19.00
This is golden hued, Sauternes-like heaven.  Soft and sweet, but not cloying, with passing traces of apricots, marmalade and honey.
