Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir mixed case, £82
3:30pm Thursday 3rd April 2008
Discounted case price £82. Includes three bottles of each of the following four wines
Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir remain hugely popular grape varieties probably because the former is so crisp and refreshing and the latter pleasingly delicate and super smooth. It seems that customers can never get enough of these wines. Here is a selection of top-selling examples from around the world for you to enjoy.
Sauvignon Blanc Domaine du Mage 2006, France
Full ripe style of southern French sauvignon with delightful green floral lime fruit and delicate hints of minerals. A really refreshing wine that is an excellent partner to seafood and fish.
Brampton Sauvignon Blanc 2006, South Africa
Made by the famous Rustenberg Estate in Stellenbosch, this is floral and fresh sauvignon blanc that ticks all the right boxes with its excellent crisp and clean and complex fruit - delicious!
Pinot Noir Jean d'Alibert 2005, France
"This Vin de Pays d'Oc Pinot Noir is cracking value, especially compared with similar quality Burgundy. Soft, mellow, fruity and gently spicy, it goes well with charcuterie and, when slightly chilled, tuna or salmon," wrote Jonathan Ray, of the Daily Telegraph.
Tarra Warra Estate Tin Cows Pinot Noir 2005, Australia
Soft raspberry fruit abounds in this lovely example of cool climate Australian wine-making. This is the kind of wine that is just perfect with pork and white meats, with its almost herbal notes and milky edge - gentle and mellow wine.

Dylan Moran: New Theatre, Oxford
‘I was the first person to discover that if you infected a person with Marmite, he would stand up and bark at the moon.” “Everybody under the age of 35 has the intelligence of raspberry jam.” “Children can hear vegetables hiding.”
Sleeping Beauty, Chipping Norton Theatre
There’s nothing King Couer-de-Loup likes more than a good battle: “We’ll march on King Florizel’s wet and wicked army,” he proclaims. His Queen is not so sure, however. She would rather her husband stayed around: there’s the christening of their daughter Princess Aurora to arrange for a start. And he certainly can’t go out and fight looking like that: “Your chain mail’s got a ladder in it,” she wails.
