It is very fresh with a zesty Sauvignon Blanc character, not too dry With a layer of ripe pineapple running through it. Very drinkable and stunning value for money. (wwwflagstonewinescom) Flagstone Longitude
(S. Africa. £4.99) Another odd label from the same stable as before. but
again the wine is quite amazing. A rather peCUliar blend of Pinotage. Pinot Now and Cabernet Sauvignon, it nonetheless works. Quite explosive on the palate with flav0ur and body very uncommon at this price pOint; With juicy strawberry fruit. a rigid tannic backbone and soft creamy chocolate notes. this is not a wine for those who prefer lighter styles.

about any food you throw at it. but the richer the better. Sandeman Vau Port 1997 ($4.99. halt bottle. limited availability) First thing: the full bottle of this; retails for E25. Secondly, Port is not just for Christmas. and Tlllfi Stuff won't last until then anyway. USually v:ntage ports do not cerne cheap; they're the most prestigious style of the genre. capable of maturing for many years in the bottle. This is a slightly lighter, more commerCial Style of the Wine. but if; every bit a Vintage port With oodles of chocolate. plum. mocha. and raisiny notes. Spice up your next dinner party: don't wait until December.
N’lce Chouffe (Belgium. $33.99) Again. it may not be the traditional weather for a Winter warmer y ‘ I beer. but this must be ‘ tried While it’s still abOut The strongest (10%) and maltiest beer in a range that is QUlely achieVIng Cult status.
