** Recent Fine Wine Wednesday Tasting Highlights **

** 1st February: Wines from Traditional French Varieties
Fairmont Block One Wairarapa Pinot Noir 2009
Dark garnet red with an intense aroma of plums, smoke and leather, this silky textured Pinot is full of flavour with that quintessential gamey savouriness, a touch of spice and a long meaty finish. A zing of acidity on the finish is a sign of its potential longevity. Gold Medal NZIWS 2010.
5 star quality rating. 5 star value rating.

Our Price: $19.99 special.

Quarisa Johnny Q Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Purple black coloured with a seductive aroma of creamy vanillin oak, chocolate and cassis. A big rich wine with a full body, smooth yet firm tannins and plenty of red berry and cassis flavour. The underlying acidity is a clue to its makeup. A lovely wine and undoubtedly the 'hot buy' of the night. The NZIWS judges gave it a gold medal and we rated it 5 stars - both in quality and value.
Our Price: $14.99 special.

** 25th January: Summer of Wine
Sherwood Estate Waipara Riesling 2009
Rich gold coloured with tantalising aromatics of honeysuckle and mandarin and honeyed and sweet to the taste with juicy sweet citrus and a nice touch of viscosity – it's clean, fresh, zingy and zesty despite the 'medium' sweetness. A touch of Botrytis adds lusciousness. Chill to the bones for the utmost enjoyment. Amazing quality at this price.
Our Price: $9.99 special.

Muriel Rioja Seleccion 2009 - Spain
Blackcurrant red with a hint of chocolate and cherry on the nose, sweet vanillin oak wells through the palate and the initially dry tannins dissolve into the deliciously juicy red fruit flavours. Nice touch of dusty, rustic savouriness too. Good value medium-bodied Spanish Rioja.
Our Price: $17.99 special.
