Mr G, I believe that the Montana RSB 2007 Offer is unique to your, and some other outlying Stores in Snowdonia: This is the current big T MRSB offer:

Montana Reserve Sauvignon Blanc Malborough 2008
Catalogue no: 143-539-61 £51.24 to £38.82
SPECIAL OFFER - save £12.42 off original price
38 Clubcard points
CASE OF 6 (equivalent to £6.47 per bottle)


We are not over enamoured with sub £10 2008 NZSB in general. But we must migrate eventually The MSB terriore series is on offer @ £6.67, but I have no real experience of 2006, Cos, I was quaffing ripe French 2005's Vouvray, Tain, Loire, Montagne, Macon Village and Saint Veran and all through 2007.

You have pointed me to NZ SB 2007 for an apperatif, and I've particularly enjoyed your choices since looking in here - Thank you kind Sir. I'm moving around the globe a bit, following vintage excellence, where the soils and climate have been perfect. We have been spoilt in recent years and I'm not sure where we shall go for 2009/10 even if they discount everything to death.

The point being.... That even if they knock 50% off all common offerings, if the vintage for whites that we love is mediocre, then one may as well have not bothered with all that carting the wine home, and opening the bottle in anticipation and expectation. Such is the Way of the Gourmet.

Can anyone give us some advice on Storage of these KIWI 2007 Malborough Sauvignon's for freshness and fruit ? The ripe French blancs left in my store have been keeping quite well, and have evolved.
