343. Champagne Jean Moutardier, Sélection Brut, NV (2006)
A product of my July 2006 trip to Champagne with Mum – some of the best weather I’ve experienced (32-34°C, dry & clear skies). …
341. Weingut Bründlmayer, Grüner Veltliner Kamptaler Terrassen Kamptal, 2005
Having had Bründlmayer recommended as a good producer of Grüner Veltliner, I was somewhat underwhelmed by this, and didn’t even finish the bottle. The …
337. Cairnbrae, Wild South Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough, 2006
The 5th white from the Optimor first case, and I was slightly concerned about this because Sven had not enjoyed it – too overtly …

279. Michel Rey, Pouilly-Fuissé “Les Crays” Vieille Vigne, 2003
Mid-green / gold with a medium watery rim. Quite intense nose led by toasty hazelnut notes, wrapped in vanilla creaminess. Some notable malolactic sweetcorn …
278. Champagne Perrier-Jouët, Champagne Belle Epoque Brut, 1998
