100% SB and 13½%. Better than the Calvet? Probably. Get some more? Deaf Nutly.

Appley, gooses and steely. Lubbly jubbly.

This from he with the hand in his shorts...

"There is so much beautifully crafted Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc on the market these days that even the bottles in the local corner shop are decorated with more rosettes than a Crufts winner. This ubiquity has come about because those crafty Kiwis constantly deliver a familiar and vibrant drink of fresh, ice-cool fruit. So relaxed are we with this experience that we fail to notice our regular dinner party transformation from rational Guardian-quoting aesthete to fist shaking Mad Mullah-bashing fanatic. But what is missing from these bottles is the wow factor of surprise, the head-turning Eureka moment of pleasure where your senses are thrilled as you take in an abundance of unfamiliar flavour. To do this with an overexposed grape and for under a tenner is a truly fabulous thing but here is one example. It hails from Touraine, the less glamourous part of the Loire Valley (Sancerre is the equivalent of Prada there), and it is made by boutique winery Domaine Jacky Marteau. Inside the glass you get the full whack of ripe apples, lime, gooseberry and a clear flinty aftertaste. It’s an absolute delight and will inspire you to Cross Your Paws, Beg and Roll Over in front of your spouse in order to get another glass."

The fellow is obviously inspired, as he agrees with me 2 from 2. The "shorts" TN refers to Brancott '10 SB and his Touraine note is blatantly plagiarised from mine...

OK Quaffers, Dix Points up for grabs...who is he ????

Indeed, not enough ambiguity for Olly, too risque for Cannavan.

I'll throw a coin in the direction of Anthony Rose, he of The Independent.
