Domaine de la Taste Côtes de Gascogne 2006
Made by Jean Claude Fontan at his property in the heart of Gascogny, this blend of local grape varieties is a crisp, ultra-clean white that has mouthwatering flavours of apple and citrus.
Rio Alto Sauvignon Blanc 2007, Chile
From the popular wine-making team at Vina San Esteban in Chile comes this gooseberry fruited, well-poised sauvignon blanc that is the perfect partner for fish or seafood.
Jean d'Alibert Pinot Noir 2005, France
This Vin de Pays d'Oc pinot noir is incredible value from the Jean d'Alibert winery in the south of France with lovely delicate floral flavours of cherries and raspberries - better than many Burgundies at twice the price.
Solora Shiraz 2004, Australia
Made by famous wine maker Sid Siddons at the state-of-the-art Palandri winery, in the Margaret River area of west Australia, this ever-popular shiraz benefits from the relatively cool climate of the region and has delicious flavours of eucalyptus and mint.

Far From the Madding Crowd preview: Oxford Playhouse
Staging a an epic work such as Thomas Hardy’s Far from the Madding Crowd is an enormous challenge — but director Kate Saxon is convinced she can bring this story of love and loss to life without presenting pastoral cuteness or melodramatic hysteria. She promises there will be neither fluffy sheep nor windswept clinches in the English Touring Theatre’s production, at the Oxford Playhouse from Tuesday to next Saturday.
