Denbies Hillside Chardonnay 2006

You know, English wine is really not too bad. I'm a big believer in buying local, and would have no problem drinking English white and sparkling wines more often. Except for the price.This goes for £13.50 on Denbies online shop, and it's just not (read full article)

Kyr Giannis Dyo Elies 2006

Ah yes, the magic of Hunter Valley Semillion. I've heard it so many times - this special terrior, you can put this wine away for ages and it develops into a complex, nutty, magical brew that is utterly unique to this part of Australia.I suppose to t (read full article)

Wild Earth Pinot Noir 2006

This is a wine I wouldn't normally drink, which is the whole point. What I mean is, a friend of mine offered to do a "wine swap" - that is trade something of his that I wouldn't normally try, for something he wouldn't normally try.My experiences wit (read full article)

Kendermann Rheinhessen Beerenauslese 2006

This was on offer at my local Tesco for £4.49 (half price), which is a silly bargain for a German dessert wine of Prädikatswein quality.This is from the Rheinhessen region of Germany, which is more famous for Liebfraumilch than for quality late-har (read full article)
