397. Catena Zapata, Catena Alta Malbec Mendoza, 2004
Dorffer asked for Malbec, so that’s what I got from POTG. A bit of infanticide this, for sure: whilst drinkable now, it’ll start giving …
396. Château Guiraud, Sauternes 1er Cru Classé, 1996
We decided to have some wine & cheese after work on Friday, so when shopping for cheese (in the new John Lewis / Waitrose …
395. Champagne A. Jacquart & Fils, Blanc de Blancs Brut Grand Cru Le Mesnil, 1996
One of the first 1996 Champagnes I’d drunk, and looked very young, compared with the 1995 Delamotte, for example. A tasting of Bollinger RD …

389. Schloss Gobelsburg, Grüner Veltliner Kammerner Renner Kamptal, 2006
Bought a half-case of this on the strength of the 2005, and it pretty-much delivers. The one note is that it probably would be …
388. Artezin, Zinfandel California, 2004
From Napa Valley’s Hess Collection winery, this, picked up on a good deal that Dante got on US wine via The Wine Society. A …
