Champagne Delamotte Brut – Salon Delamotte
Drank at: Balthazar (London) // Available at: Amazon
Robust and rich, this champagne deserves to be an entrée in itself. Beyond obligatory canapés, this splendid wine goes well with vegetarian dishes and warm or cheesy starters (like French onion soup).
Cava Torre Oria – Torre Oria
Drank at: Home // Available at: Compass Wines
A floral and refined cava. It is special enough to accompany a nice meal but fun enough to share with friends on a Saturday night or special occasion.
The Butterfly Effect Reserve Shiraz 2017 – Sam Plunkett
Drank at: Home // Available at: Naked Wines
An aromatic and fruity red wine with a rich and complex flavour. Particularly pleasant when consumed with a cheese platter!
Sacchetto Prosecco Col de L’Utia Brut 2017 – Paolo Sacchetto
Drank at: Home // Available at: Naked Wines
Crisp, refreshing and dry but not too sharp. Great on its own, with canapés or a light meal.
