No, it’s not Marmite, it’s Riesling, and a medium dry/sweet one at that. Throw off your fears and inhibitions and crack the cap on this with a mild Thai curry – I guarantee it’ll open up a whole new world of flavour combinations you didn’t know existed. Video one this week is the magical James Hardwick Riesling 2008 from Muddy Water.
We’ve also posted a crisp, fruity Chardonnay and three light reds, for perfect summer supping.
Video two: Pascal Bouchard Cotes d’Auxerre Chardonnay 2008
The “generic-brand” Burgundy Chardonnay from top Chablis producer Pascal Bouchard. They can even put “Chardonnay” on the label!
Video three: Domaine Fort Michon Brouilly 2007
The perfect summer red, there’s so much more to Beaujolais than Fleurie. Nine other grand cru villages in fact, and Brouilly’s the largest.
Video four: V Pinot Noir 2007
From the land of Count Dracula, check out this Transylvanian Pinot Noir. (Yes, Transylvania!) Not a typical Pinot Noir, but then we pride ourselves on being anything but typical.
Video five: Domaine du Chateau d’Eau Pinot Noir 2008
A real favourite in the warehouse for the lunar organic approach to growing, coupled with the resulting fine structure and bursting, juicy red fruit.
