The 2015 Roussanne from @tablascreek has a rich nose of honey, bread, peach or pear , jasmine, and a little cedary oak. The palette is rich with ripe pear, beeswax, custard, baking spices. Keep up until 2025 It’s like eating a naughty pudding 😋😍😋 pair with scallops 🦞 swordfish and white fish. Would also suit 🥗 #honeycomb #beeswax #almonds #peach #lobster #whitefish #scallops #wine #winewithfish #winewinewine #rousanne #westcoastwine #pasorobles @tablascreek
Fabulous White Burgundy 2015 from @lafon.dom very elegant and refined. Think of @helenmirren and not @spicegirls aromas of limes green 🍏 & grapefruit good minerality ( think licking a knife - I know you know what that tastes like ! ) and very refreshing. Goes well with 🐓 🦃 🐟 🥗 and (🐊 tail ) available from @berrybrosrudd #berrybrosrudd #whiteburgundy #chardonnay #winewithfriends #winewithaview #wineporn #wine #winelover #winewednesday #greenapples #grapefruit #thegrapewizard

Tried this gin from @theenglishdrinksco absolutely stinks of cucumber 🥒 🥒 absolutely fabulous with @fevertreemixers ( tonic ) and so fresh and clean you will think you’ve been hit by a big sea 🌊 breeze. One of the best clean and fresh gins I’ve seen in ages beats Hendricks anytime . Try it and you won’t be disappointed. Ask me if you can’t find a supplier. 👍🏻😎#gin #botanicals #cucumber #ginandtonic #ginstagram #gintonic #iceandaslice #ginlovers
2014 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru « Les Frionnes » Tried this fab st-aubin with roast chicken 🐓 tonight. The vines in the vineyard are from a one hectare parcel on a hillside vineyard situated between Saint Aubin and Gamay in Burgundy. Red fruit 🍇 red currants and red cherry 🍒 on the nose and in the mouth Good sense of elegant spice. A joy to experience. Thank you @berrybrosrudd #domainhenriprudhon #pinotnoir #oldworld #burgundy #redfruit #elegantwine #winewithfriends #winewithaview GW rating 4/5
The 2016 Sauvignon Blanc has a ‘sniffy sniff ‘ of peaches and passion fruit with hints of dried herbs, elderflower, struck match and lemon zest. Medium-bodied with lovely texture, it's fresh and zippy in the mouth, with some minerality. #sauvignonblanc #mediumbodied #whitewine #passionfruit #peaches #lemonzest @bedrockhookerhouse #sonoma #california #usa #winewithfriends #minerality #notlikeanzsauvignonblanc
The 2014 Clinet @berrybrosrudd has Black cherry, smoke, graphite, chocolate and French oak , Hints of lavender and violet develop in the glass. It’s a big, imposing wine in need of cellaring. Also shows signs of plum, crème de cassis, spice-box, dried flowers, and graphite aromas. It’s a wine that can be drunk now ( although I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s a big wine 😁) but leave it for 5 years. Up to 2032 #blackfruit #bordeaux #blackcurrant #bigwine #pomerol #france #clinet #claret #merlot #redfruits #pomerol #chateau #winewithfriends #winewithlove
Want black fruit 🍇 ✏️ shavings smooth tannins and and an unbelievable price of £13.50 ($17.80) go to @berrybrosrudd and get this fabulous everyday drinking red from Bordeaux #blackfruit #blackcurrant #pencilshavings #smoothtannins #bordeaux @chateauclinet #redwine #cabernetsauvignon #merlot
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
