I dunno, you get let down by all these expensive French wines and then along comes a lovely cheap one.

Definite white flowers/hawthorn smell. Faintly sickly yet still quite lovely.

Tastes more like Pouilly Fume - Coteaux Du Giennois than Languedoc. Only gets a :qofgoodvalue: though as I have had better of this style.

Nice though.

Yes...lots of open bottles cluttering up the fridge.

And that is the reason why Majestic have the edge over all others for those who know what is worth having.

Buying Wisdom - seeing, feeling and inspecting exactly what you are paying for. I always up the anti when I'm there, and am generally rewarded for it. Gives you time to get the ole grey matter working, as you trawl through your own archive.

The web helps you maintain your archive and QO is great for keeping it up to date.

Goose - we are indebted to you for trying them out :)

Would certainly get me drooooooling: A classy number no less.

Dog Point Section 94 Marlborough NZ Sauvignon Blanc 2009.

Do we need to launch a campaign at Maj, to convince them to stock this wine ?

Hasta la vista
