Scrummy with lamb!

Pinot Noir Calusari 2012, Romania A brilliant example of the good quality wines now being made in this corner of Europe. Vibrant strawberry and cranberry aromas balanced by characteristically earthy Pinot Noir tones. Stunning value this kind of quality would cost a whole lot more elsewhere in the world!

FOOD MATCH Yummy on its own!

Riesling Invivo 2012, New Zealand A lush, medium sweet Riesling that has spring slurping written all over it. Pure and fragrant with clean lime aromas. The palate is zippy and soaked in lemon and lime flavours with a parma violet finish. Dangerously drinkable because of its mountain of sweet fruit, but its got tightrope balance too! And at just 11% its the ideal lunchtime tipple.

This will be perfect with your choccy eggs!

Elysium Black Muscat Quady Winery 2011, USA (375ml) Made by a couple that used to make fireworks, but its often said that they make a bigger bang with their wines than their fireworks ever did! A rich berry flavour and lovely aroma of rose petals with a lusciously rich palate.

White Meats

I visited Hungary late last year and came back incredibly enthused about the wines. As a country, Hungary has a reputation when it comes to sweet wines, but the dry wines are simply fabulous! I believe they will become as famous if not more so than their sweet wines! You simply have to taste these wines to discover what the fuss is all about. - Philip
