Two St Clairs in that Top 10
Neither of those St. Clairs are available here in the UK ! And one of them is 68% more than Astro in New Zealand -
Monsieur Pontac, you miss the point..... The Astolabe is at the top and is the cheapest, infact 4 out of the 1st six are the cheapest.
YET - Our UK prices are wound upWhen we look at Waitrose prices, the Astrolabe is the most expensive at £14.99 -Duh !
Goose has talked about Blind River at Oddbins. Anyone seen Mud House anywhere, probably all over the States for only 10 dollars !
The Chinese bought all the Vavasour - or someone else ???
That cowslip terraine is a joint venture at Babich. Yeah, I forgot to say, I have 3 bottles of Babich Reserve light and fragrant (they say) pinot noir coming here and it's sourced from the Cowslip valley slopes in the north west of the Marlborough area, and is steeper than most of the other valley side plots.
I was checking Pinot at the time -
Not SB Mr G. Fancy that, wasting good Pinot Noir vineyard plots on SB
Pallister from Martinborough - wasting good Pinot land again !
