Thought I’d try this cheeky £5.99 ($7.99) from @lidluk and recommended by @richardbampfield @eszterbauerwine uses local grapes from Hungary 🇭🇺 -#palinkaslaki #kleinmiklós #molnarlaki light in body light in colour good acidity and fairly@good tannins. For such a reasonable price and a light summery drink with a touch of pepperyness this is a ‘no-brainer” enjoy with delicate foods and works@well with fish 🐟
#francoisgay Pernand-Vergelesses: Domaine François Gay & Fils 2015 Father and son team, François and Pascal Gay are based in Chorey-les-Beaune and produce a range of red wines from different local appellations (Beaune, Chorey, Savigny, Ladoix, Corton), as well as one white from Pernand-Vergelesses. It has appealing green apple 🍏 scents and an elegant orchard fruit palate offset by chalky, mineral notes and underscored by a fine acidity. It is best served lightly-chilled (around 12-14⁰C) and makes a marvellous accompaniment to poached salmon or roast chicken 🐓 #chardonnay #greenapples #citrus #france #pernandvergelesses #burgundy #whitewine #winewithdinner #wineonitsown great on a lazy weekend with friends
Fabulous Chardonnay from Australia - no big in your face flavours. Just a gentle melted butter in a pan taste @larrycherubino will definitely be having this again #butter #greenapples #chardonnay #austrailia #whitewine #winelovers #winewithfriends

#remijobard #meursault 2013 Sweet and fat, very salivating. Light minerality, it has a round generous character, then lemony 🍋 finish. A joy to drink on from the champagne earlier 😋 #meusault #chardonnay #whitewine #france #winewithfriends #winelovers #greenapple #citrus 🎁
Great way to start my weekend of birthday 🎁 celebrations 2002 @champagne_billecart_salmon Francois - surely one of the best years for champagne 🥂 yum yum 😋 #champagne #champagne🍾 #champagneblonde #reims #epernay #fizz #bubblesandbratwurst #champagnebbq #france #pinotnoir #pinotmeunier #chardonnay. APPEARANCE A lovely colour of sparkling yellow gold veiled in luminous golden reflections. PALATE seeded and stone fruit, citrus fruit, warm Madelines with a touch of spruce and juniper berries. AROMA Fine malted notes associated with orchard fruit (white peach, nectarine, Lorraine plum) refined by the purity of the complex mandarin zest aromas. TASTING It will expose the flavours of a beautiful creamy, roasted poultry or a delicious slice delicious turbot in a creamy sauce. Serve at: 11-12°C Notes 📝 courtesy of @champagne_billecart_salmon website

You have to try this little cheeky number from @cortesanmattia It’s a little agroturismo in Verona over looking the city. It’s only €10 and with shipping to UK (€39 ) only makes this a €17 bottle. Very light fresh and crisp with green apple and citrus on the palate. Good mousse and very enticing acidity. Got for it. Any problems DM me. #italiansparklingwine #fizz #notquitechampagne #garganega #chardonnay #verona #fizzwithfriends
