Schloss Schönborn voted Decanter's Wine of the Week
Rheingau Riesling QbA Schloss Schönborn 2009
"From a producer you can generally rely on, this is a revitalising, off-dry and very moreish glass of wine. Flavours of citrus zest, zippy lime pie and flecks of minerality are framed by delicious acidity, heightening the wine's refreshment value."

Wine & Cheese Recommendations from yum! Magazine
Sancerre Domaine du Nozay 2009
"Chevrotin des Aravis goat’s cheese tastes beautiful with the ‘cat’s pee on a gooseberry bush’ notes of a classic Sancerre – French with French! Multi-award winning, single vineyard Sancerre with ripe, grassy fruit and a complex minerality."
Herri Mina Jean-Claude Berrouet 2007
"Traditional, creamily intense and fruity, Camembert de Normandie goes beautifully with the gooseberry flavours of this characterful wine.."
James Hardwick Riesling Muddy Water 2008
"From an often overlooked area of France, aromatic and enticing, James Hardwick’s succulent, full-flavoured New Zealand Riesling is a great partner for St Wulftsan, a sharp, crumbly creamy British cow’s cheese..A perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, slightly off-dry with zingy, bright fruit."
Nelson Estate Harvest 2008
"Ticklemore’s Harbourne Blue British goats cheese is a real treat with a dessert wine – try Nelson Estate Noble Late Harvest Semillon. A delicious sweet, smooth, richly textured wine with hints of stone fruit, pineapple and honey. Tropical and fresh with coconut and passion fruit flavours."
We are currently showing the 2009 vintage.

Cecilia Beretta, Terre di Cariano, Valpolicella Classico Superiore, Veneto Italy 2007

Gilles Jourdan's Côtes de Nuits Recommended
Côte de Nuits Villages Domaine Gilles Jourdan 2009
"For an easy-drinking, supper-party wine, try Cotes de Nuits Villages Domaine Gilles Jourdan 2008. With summer berry compote flavours, a hint of violet and a fragrant finish, it’s a smooth, morello cherry charmer your friends will love.."
