Welcome Wow, I can’t believe another year has gone by and we are running downhill with no brakes into Christmas 2016. What makes this even more incredible is that it will be the 49th Christmas at our Beaumont store and also my 29th Christmas at Dunell’s!

In this time, there have been too many changes to mention, however our most notable events in recent years have been the launch of our website in May 2008, followed by the opening of our town shop ‘La Cave’ in September 2011 and most recently our newest shop in Gorey in December 2015.

We were very proud earlier this year to be nominated for two very prestigious awards by the International Wine Challenge. The first being Small Independent Retailer of the Year (we made it to the final 3 in the whole of the UK) and the second, the Regional Merchant of the Year for the South

and South-East of England, the latter of which we were over-the-moon to win.

I am also extremely proud to boast an amazing team with an incredible amount of ‘wine-related’ expertise, from ex-sommeliers to wine-makers with a combined experience of over 140 years!

Over the years we have built up an enviable portfolio that now boasts over 1650 different wines with over 400 of those coming from Bordeaux alone. We have over 130 in magnum (or larger!) and 110 in halves and quarters and we have wines from as close as England to as far flung as Patagonia.

Our spirit offering is almost as impressive with over 450 different lines, including 23 Rums, 31 Gins, 87 Brandies (including Cognac & Armagnac) and a staggering 170 Whiskies. Our Craft Beer selection grows by the day and we now have

over 100 on offer, from the bizarre to the ridiculous!

Back in 2011 we introduced to Jersey our ‘By The Glass’ wine-tasting machines. Now with a machine in each shop you can taste 16 different wines before you buy (each shop has its own selection). This new concept has proven extremely popular with people expanding their ‘wine-horizons’ and trying things they wouldn’t ordinarily buy.

So, with all of this in mind I would like to introduce you to our ‘New Look’ 2016 Christmas guide, jam-packed with Christmas gift ideas including hampers and decanters, personal wine and spirit recommendations perfect to drink over the Festive period, food and wine pairing tips and loads of Christmas offers.

We really hope you enjoy browsing through our guide and look forward to welcoming you in one of our shops or online over the festive period.

See you soon, Neil Neil Pinel, Managing Director

Top Champagnes for Christmas Ideal for celebrating the holiday season

DEVAUX ‘D de Devaux’ Le Rosé Brut N.V £44.95 per bottle

PERRIER-JOUET Grand Brut N.V. £36.95 per bottle

BILLECART-SALMON Brut Rosé £54.95 per bottle

Christmas Offer £33.95

Christmas Offer £32.95

Christmas Offer £44.95

Uniquely, almost half of this blend is Chardonnay, giving a delicacy not usually found in most Rosés. The high quality of the fruit ensures that the final dosage is lower than many Rosés.

Perrier-Jouet’s reputation as one of the top houses comes from the sheer quality of its Grand Brut and they are justifiably proud of its long track record, as they were the very first house to make a “Brut” champagne back in 1854. PJ Grand Brut has a pale but luminous golden yellow colour with lively, gracious bubbles. Fleeting floral aromas with warmer notes, dominated by green apples, pineapple and white peaches. On the palate it is impetuous with cheerful vitality that floods the palate and is sustained by a persistent stream of sprightly bubbles, rich flavours of fresh butter, brioche and shortbread reach a natural balance. ALSO AVAILABLE IN: HALF 37.5cl (£20.95) and MAGNUM 150cl (£77.95).

There are very few aperitif wines that get my pulse racing as much as a glass of Billy Rosé. My mood lifts in a nanosecond and all the stresses and strains of everyday life melt away....There is no law against dreaming and Billecart Rosé is one of the dreamiest, most seductive wines in the world.

Tasting Notes: This is the most delicate of the Devaux Rosé Champagnes with the greater percentage of Chardonnay contributing a firm, elegant freshness to the palate. Fresh red fruit aromas from the Pinot Noir combine with a hint of hazelnut complexity which was encouraged by extended ageing on the lees when in bottle. Awards: Silver - Decanter World Wine Awards 2010 - Silver - International Wine Challenge 2012 - Silver - Decanter World Wine Awards 2013. SILVER MEDAL - Sommelier Wine Awards 2015.

94 points Wine Enthusiast - “Such an elegant, ethereal wine, this orange-pink wine is dry and crisp with fruity raspberry flavour at the fore. This particular bottling could improve for a year, but makes a great food Champagne now.” ALSO AVAILABLE IN: HALF (£29.95) and MAGNUM (£119.95).

GALLIMARD Brut Cuvée Reserve ‘Les Riceys’ N.V. £22.95 per bottle Christmas Offer £17.95 Didier Gallimard owns 10 hectares of prime vineyards on the steep slopes around Les Riceys in the Southern Aube.

His vines average 30 years of age and the vineyards which are of chalk and limestone are planted to 100% Pinot Noir. A very attractive Champagne that has previously been the House Champagne at Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck. An attractive fruity nose, with aromas of exotic fruit. In the mouth, it is supple and very well-balanced.

The mousse is fine and long lasting. On any occasion, this Blancs de Noir will bring extra joy to all your moments of great happiness.

ALSO AVAILABLE IN: HALF (£11.95) and MAGNUM (£49.95).

PIERRE MIGNON Brut 1er Cru ‘Grande Reserve’ Le Breuil N.V. £24.95 per bottle Christmas Offer £15.95 Champagne Pierre Mignon is a family owned house located in Le Breuil in the Marne Valley. Over several generations, the family estate has grown significantly with vineyards in the Marne Valley, Côte des Blancs and Epernay. Mignon produces stylish Champagnes with a fresh, vibrant character, all of the wines are made within their own cellars where attention to detail and quality is paramount. Their fresh and vibrant character is balanced with a soft and creamy mousse to produce Champagne that is perfect for any occasion. This a crisp, well balanced champagne with citrus hints on the nose overlaid with touches of brioche and yeastiness. The palate is fresh, clean and lively with a creamy mousse and long finish. Mushrooms and Champagne are a great pairing, so any sort of appetizer you can create using mushrooms will go nicely.

Or try it with Sushi, a real treat! IWC Wine Awards - Silver 2015.

DEVAUX ‘D de Devaux’ La Cuvée Brut N.V. £34.95 per bottle Christmas Offer £27.95 The Cuvée ‘D’ wines are Devaux’s very best; the grapes are the very best quality from Champagne and so growers who qualify for this high level are paid accordingly. Devaux are Pinot Noir specialists. The majority of their vineyards are located in the Aube where Pinot Noir is the dominant variety.

This location, on the slopes of the Côte des Bars, is important; it gives this variety a lovely Pinot Noir richness on the nose and a long finish, yet retains the finesse.

Some Chardonnay is included in the blend; this is grown on the fine chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs and Vitry to give liveliness and elegance. The NV ‘Cuvee D’ is rich and sleek and is, in Anthony Rose’s words, a ‘luxuriously toasty, creamy number.’ The Pinot Noir gives body and length to the wine, while the Chardonnay adds elegance and finesse.

However, times have changed and now we can offer you a classy bottle of bubbles from Valentin Bianchi in Mendoza. The Bianchi family winery was founded in 1928 by Italian immigrant Valentin Bianchi and now covers 350 hectares of vineyard. It is now run by the third generation, headed by Enzo Bianchi. The Bianchi Brut is not only one of Argentina’s most impressive sparkling wines, but also stands up to the best that the rest of the world has to offer at this price. It has nice biscuity fruit on the nose and good richness on the palate.

Fresh and clean, it finishes dry.

Normally it is a steal at £11.95 but,

once again, with the help of the Bianchi’s we can offer it at £9.95 this Christmas, a real bargain.

Of course, no talk of sparkling wine would be complete without mentioning Prosecco, the biggest thing to come out of Italy since Pinot Grigio. People have said to me “you can’t go wrong with a bottle of Prosecco” but trust me, you can! There are many an unscrupulous producer who will bottle anything that fizzes, made from any grape varieties they can get their hands on. At Dunell’s we are very careful on the providence of our Prosecco’s so you can always be guaranteed a quality wine (and one that won’t leave too many bad memories and sore heads the next day).

This year we have a great one on offer from our main Pinot Grigio producer, Bella Modella. A perfect model Prosecco that is very stylish and delicious with a lovely fruit-filled character. Perfect at just £6.95 a bottle (normally £8.95).

Also very good are our ‘house’ favourites from Azzillo…

AZZILLO Raboso N.V £9.95 per bottle On Christmas Offer at £7.95 A delicate pink sparkling wine made from the Raboso grape grown in the fertile vineyards of northeast Italy within the region of Treviso. It is fragrant with summer fruit aromas, fresh and lively on the palate, dry, crisp and easy to drink. It is a rosé to partner Prosecco spumante.

AZZILLO Prosecco Spumante N.V. £9.95 per bottle On Christmas Offer at £7.95 Prosecco is the fashionable dry sparkling wine produced from Prosecco (locally known as Glera) grapes grown in the hills of Treviso, Veneto region.

It is a pale and delicate wine with fine mousse and persistent fine bubbles. The clean fruity aromatic bouquet contains hints of flowers, honey and apple leading to a well-balanced, light and fresh palate.

Perfect as an aperitif or serve with hors d’oeuvres and delicate first courses. Also wonderful with shellfish and light pasta dishes.

White Christmas

Perfect white wines for the festive season We have loads of great white wines to choose from all over the world but here are 6 top whites we all adore and all are available at special Christmas prices. Enjoy!

GREYWACKE Sauvignon Blanc (Kevin Judd) 2015 from Marlborough, New Zealand £16.95 per bottle Christmas Offer £13.95 Greywacke is the exciting new solo venture of Kevin Judd, who was chief winemaker at Cloudy Bay for 25 vintages and instrumental in the international recognition which New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc enjoys today.

Tasting Notes: The 2015 vintage is a vibrant mix of nectarines, yellow peaches and cassis combining with the bright fragrance of lemon zest laced with musky, jasmine-like floral nuances. The palate is packed with ripe stone fruit, melons and mandarin creating a succulent tropical-fruited style with that classic Marlborough zing. Tim Atkin MW tweeted saying “The Greywacke Sauvignon really is delicious. Even better than when Cloudy Bay was at its best. Bravo Kevin Judd.”

MARA MARTIN Godello DO Monterrei 2013/14 from Spain £10.95 per bottle Christmas Offer £8.95 The Mara Martin Godello is produced

by Martín Códax in the Monterrei DO, situated further inland from Rías Baixas in northwest Spain. Fermented in stainless steel, the wine is an intensely perfumed, spicy white that offers exceptionally good value...

Native to Galicia, Godello is a rediscovered variety with huge potential to make flavourful, distinctive wines, yet retains the purity and freshness for which the region’s more famous variety, Albariño, is known.

Monterrei is particularly suited to the production of aromatic white wines, thanks to the cooling influence of both the sea and the extensive local river network.

Clean and vivid straw-yellow colour.

Typical aromas of hay, apple and pear dominate with intense notes of wild flowers and subtle nuances of lime citrus. On the palate, the wine is upfront, with good body, depth and structure that are derived from lees contact. The finish is long and persistent.

A couple of classics...

HENRY BROCHARD Sancerre ‘Selection’ 2015 £12.95 per bottle Christmas Offer £10.95 Fresh and crisp on the palate, with pear, peach and apple notes frolicking about, this is quintessential Sancerre.

Add vibrant acidity, great length and a pleasant dose of minerality to the mix, and you’ve got a wine that does the region proud.

Brochard’s wine was cultivated on the south, southwest slopes of Sancerre Blanc vineyard located on some of the best hills of the Loire Valley. Sancerre Classique was grown on 30 year old vines in a blend of 40% limestone, 30% flint and 30% clay.

DOMAINE DES MALANDES Chablis AOC 2014/15 £15.95 per bottle Christmas Offer £11.95 The vineyards that produce the grapes for this truly remarkable Chablis cover an area of 15 hectares at an altitude varying between 150 to 250 m on soft slopes rich in Kimmeridgien clay. The vines were planted between 5 and 40 years ago and it is the age of the vines, the rootstock and the sub-soil that are the source of the balance and complexity of the wine. When young this wine is excellently crisp with expressive aromas of fresh fruit, in particular peaches, and a wonderful richness and a mineral taste. Serve lightly chilled with fish or white meats.

Mount Difficulty Pinot Gris ‘Templars Hill’ is my favourite white wine. We shall be enjoying it with a shellfish hors d’oeuvres starter and a traditional roasted goose on Christmas Day. We love the fruit cocktail aromas like passionfruit and melon. It’s rich and textured and has a slightly off-dry finish that’s so moreish.

To me the festive season means celebration and therefore drinking something a little special, so I’m sure this Christmas we will drink some of the Smith Haut Lafitte that we bring back from Bordeaux on our way through to our home in Gascony. It’s a beautiful wine that can support some strong flavours - so I will be drinking this with one of the new dishes to go on the menu this winter, which is Veal cheeks braised in red wine, with grilled polenta & parsley.

Though I don’t think I will stretch to cooking the veal in the Smith Lafitte!

Argentine Greats Catena ‘Alta’ Chardonnay ‘Historic Rows’ 2014 £22.95 per bottle

It’s impossible to talk about Argentinean wine for more than a few minutes without someone mentioning either Nicolas Catena or one of his wines. No-one has done more to put Mendoza on the map, or to raise the profile of Malbec from Bordeaux reject to one of the world’s most fashionable grape varieties.

Christmas Offer £16.95 Catena Alta is an assemblage of historic rows within the Catena family Estate vineyards.

The Catena Alta Chardonnay shows an intense green-yellow colour with golden highlights. The nose offers ripe white fruit aromas such as pears and peaches that are interwoven with delicate citrus and floral notes, such as Jasmine. The palate shows rich and concentrated ripe pear, apple and apricot flavours with a light note of minerality. The wine finishes long and complex with crisp, mineral acidity.

His journey to the top hasn’t been easy, however and plenty of people were sceptical when Nicolas started planting vines at ever higher altitudes in the Andes. Eventually the results of his experiments spoke for themselves and others quickly followed in his footsteps.

The family’s commitment to research and development continues apace with Nicolas’ daughter, Laura, now at the helm.

Catena Appellation ‘San Carlos’ Cabernet 2014 £14.95 per bottle The Catena Cabernet Franc presents a purple colour with red ruby tones. The nose offers elegant aromas of spices, and fresh herbs as thyme and rosemary, red berries, cassis and raspberries, with layers of cedar. The mouthfeel is full and rich with cassis, raspberries flavours and notes of black pepper and oregano. The finish is bright and fresh with finely grained tannins.

This is a winery that never stands still and never compromises on quality. The range has grown in recent years but with no perceivable drop in standards.

From the varietal range right up to the flagship Nicolas Catena Zapata, these are wines that always over deliver.

World-renowned and much lauded!

Have you laid wine down (in a cellar or otherwise), waiting for that optimum time (could be years) to pull the cork and drink it? Ever looked at those bottles and wondered what the wine tastes like or how it is developing?

I know I have, especially with more expensive bottles. Well now you can.

The Coravin system allows you to extract wine from a bottle without ever pulling the cork! Robert Parker wrote “Coravin is going to revolutionise drinking wine, being able to access multiple wines in your cellar and have the choice of as many as you want.”

Dunell’s is the Channel Island stockist for Coravin and this piece of equipment is an absolute MUST HAVE for any wine lover who stores their wine for a later date. Access multiple wines at any time. Wine remaining in an accessed bottle will continue to age naturally as there is no exposure to oxygen, so you can return to it after months or even years.

When stored properly, accessed wine will be indistinguishable from an unopened bottle.

This is the future!

Amar’s favourites

A great winter red is Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon, Jerry Lohr Estates 2013, this vintage is the best since 1997!

The vineyards are located in Paso Robles, California. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for 12 months in oak barrels. 2013 vintage is showing exceptionally dark colour. Intense fruit aromas of black cherry, plum and blueberry are accented by a barrel bouquet of hazelnut, dark

It’s party season but sometimes we’re the designated driver or might not want to drink too much at an event. The Eminazero Non-Alcoholic Sparkling (£9.95) is the perfect solution!

It not only looks the part in a

chocolate and toasted pastry.

Stunning with red meat dishes or cheese board.

Another personal favourite is this delicious Sherry Ximenez-Spinola Old Harvest (on Christmas offer at £16.95) from Jerez in Spain.

Pedro Ximénez grapes harvested by hand and exposed to the sun for 3 additional days to the regular harvest. This is a blend of dry, oxidatively aged, wine from a solera laid down in 1964 with

Viv’s favourites Champagne flute but is really pleasant and refreshing – a great alternative to the real thing!

One of my favourites has to be Cave de Lugny’s Macon Lugny ‘Les Charmes’ (£9.95). I find myself

sweet wine from a solera laid down in 1918. Dark amber colour, clean and shiny with apparent density. Intense nose with aromas of woodwork, typical of the persistence of oak and oxidation. Full, round, balanced, with a mild aftertaste of natural sweetness Intense in the mouth without being heavy, with smoky and soft roasted touches. Have it with desserts or as an after dinner drink.

coming back to this wine time and time again. In my opinion, it will go really well with roast Christmas turkey or chicken and its luscious flavour and body reminds me of a far more expensive Chardonnay. A real bargain!

This wine’s lengthy finish shows beautiful minerality with fine tannins and lively acidity.

This Malbec is absolutely wonderful with a variety of red meats but especially with more full-flavored dishes like our Venison which is served with parsnip puree, quinoa, Medjool dates, ginger, smoked chocolate tortellini.

I love sourcing produce, I do it for a living. I’m continually cooking with new and exciting products in the view of embracing them into the range at Fungi. To try and pair these ingredients with wine, well that’s just a very enjoyable hobby.

This festive season won’t all be about the turkey for my family, we’ll need a red meat fix at some point and what better way to get that than with generous slices of rare aged Ribeye sitting on wilted greens tossed in brown beech mushrooms, black garlic moistened just a hint of a rose harissa sauce. To make it extra special I’ve topped the dish with the most perfect of black truffle tortelloni.

I’m not a wine expert so it’s important to ask for help. Some time ago Dunell’s pointed me in the direction of this stunning Cianfagna Tintila del Molise ‘Sator’ and it has become a family favourite.

The Tintila grape used to be Spanish but for me it’s all Italian now!!! Big and bold as you would expect but able to cope with the spice of my harissa sauce and absolutely perfect with the pasta and steak.

It’s special enough to be an occasion wine (for us anyway) but it’s well worth the cost, and cooking over the festive period with ingredients like these our decadence must extend to a special glass or two of true excellence.

The Biscardo Family have been making wine from their base in Soave for over 150 years and the operations are currently led by brothers Maurizio and Martino Biscardo. Renowned for their Proseccos and Corvina based reds in particular, they are also involved in a fascinating project in Puglia. During the course of Maurizio’s long and illustrious career, he has consulted for well-known wineries around Italy and in doing so he came across the vineyards that provide the grapes for their Puglian wines. Both the Pugliese and Veneto wines are characterised by a dangerous drinkability, aromatic purity and exceptional value for money.

Bursting with black fruit aromas and a fusion of toasty oak and vanilla notes this Malbec is the perfect creation from Susana Balbo’s stable of Crios (young offspring) wines. Plump with dark cherries and brambles complemented with a touch of spice and smoky oak, this full bodied wine finishes long with soft silky tannins offering up a lot more than the price would suggest.

This wine is knockout! Multi-award winning, this wine has become a firm favourite here at Dunell’s. Described as “ripe and broad tasting showing focused flavours of berry and red cherry with a touch of currant. Fresh and juicy on the finish which includes notes of molten chocolate.” The wine possesses a complexity of aromas that suggested berries, with some toasted notes as a result of a short period in oak, that in combination with good structure of bark allows it the presentation of a very rounded and balanced wine in the mouth. Matches with all kind of meat and soft cheeses.

TASTING: Intense ruby red turning to garnet with ageing. Bouquet is spicy with hints of cherry, black cherry and plum compote, fine and velvety palate, persistent, with soft tannins at the end.

GRAPES: Corvinone 70%, Corvina 25%, Cabernet 5%.

FINCA MANZANOS Rioja Tempranillo 2014/15 from Spain £7.95 per bottle Christmas Offer £5.95 This is a great modern style of Rioja with enticing nose of ripe black and red fruits leading to a smooth, rich satisfying palate with a hint of spice. Round and wellbalanced. Easy drinking but enough body to accompany red meat dishes.

Situated on the plains of the River Ebro in the heart of Rioja, Bodegas Manzanos combines the best traditions of this iconic land with the youthful flair of their young team - Victor and David Fernández de Manzanos and winemaker Borja Ripa. More recently, the family has built an impressive new winery that sits alongside their 250ha of vineyards - a rare feat in the otherwise fragmented Rioja countryside. With the utmost respect for the land, the vineyards are worked sustainably and the winery itself was built to minimise the visual impact on the land.

The wines from Finca Manzanos are fruit-forward, modern interpretations from this classic region.

LA PLAYA Red Blend ‘Block Selection’ Reserve Claret from Chile £9.95 per bottle Christmas Offer £6.95 An elegant crimson colour. On the nose, strawberry and plum with hints of nutmeg. It has good structure and volume with a long ripe red fruit finish.

The estate grapes are hand harvested exclusively for their Block Select Reserve collection.

DANDELION VINEYARDS ‘Menagerie of the Barossa’ 2014 from Australia £12.95 per bottle

RAMON BILBAO Rioja Reserva 2010/11 from Spain £11.95 per bottle

Christmas Offer £9.95

This is a wine with the know-how and flavour of a great Rioja Alta wine.

Made from 90% Riojan Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo and Graciano. For the winemaking of reservas at Ramón Bilbao, they think about wines that are going to be laid some years, therefore only the right blendings are appropriate to age for a long period in oak cask and gain longevity in this way, and the evolution in the bottle will be slow and fulfilling. Intense garnet red with light brick-red tones on the rim. On the nose it unfolds from the first moment balsamic notes from the wood with a chocolate and coconut background, all of it surrounded with ripen red fruit preserve. There is quite obvious tobacco and cedar wood presence as well. In the mouth it is full and there is a persistent finish.

Nick Stock, one of Australia’s leading journalists, has described Dandelion as follows: ‘Brooks has teamed up with his winemaking wife Elena, a woman whose talents are outweighed only by her tolerance, in an exciting new venture called Dandelion Vineyards.

The approach is remarkably simple and sees Elena making wine from a suite of beautiful old vineyards identified

by Carl Lindner and Brad Rey across that blessed curve that runs from the Barossa, up through the Eden Valley and Adelaide Hills and down into McLaren Vale.’

Erik’s trip to France Languedoc-Roussillon wine trip

Our first visit at Château Montifaud, was one of the most exciting visits of the trip.

A family run Cognac house for 6 generations, one of only 12 Cognac houses making every single step of production in-house. After the walkthrough of distillery and private cellars where we have seen and tasted unbelievably old and valuable Cognacs we joined the family for a lovely lunch in Michel’s house (father of Laurent who’s currently running the Château).

Amazing Experience!

Our next stop on Monday evening was Château Montlau in Bordeaux, located on the top of the hill right across the river Dordogne from St. Emilion.

Elizabeth and Armand, current

owners and long standing friends of Neil invited us for dinner. The meal was wonderful and we started with Montlau Blanc, Fontblanche red and 2014 Château Montlau Rouge. Veal grilled on vine cuts was cooked to perfection and all the older vintages of Château Montlau (2002, 1991, 1988) and Hors Serie we tasted complemented it perfectly. Another very memorable visit.

Tuesday morning we hit the road and drove to Limoux for quick visit and tasting at Domaine B&B Bouche. Limoux is the oldest appellation in world known for production of sparkling wine using Blanquette Methode Ancestrale. Sweetish sparkling wines made without disgorgement, often cloudy because all the sediment stays in the bottle.

the fermenting wine to stop the fermentation and keep natural sweetness. Domaine Pouderoux is small family run house with outstanding handcrafted wines.

It is unbelievable they can do such a great wines in such a small winery.

Wednesday was a busy day with 4 visits planned. The first at Domaine Bertrand-Berge in Fitou was another very positive surprise. A family run Domaine for 6 generations producing Carignan based blends with Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre.

Bio certified, powerful, structured, complex but elegant and not overwhelming. I absolutely loved these wines!

Overall it was a fantastic experience seeing all these wine makers in harvest time and been able try wines from barrels, fermenting tanks or to stick your head into a wine press. Lots of good food, great wine and we met some very interesting people and had lots of fun!

Château Montlau Rouge ‘Classic’ (£11.95): Outstanding Bordeaux Superieur from hills right next to St. Emilion.

CHARLES HEIDSIECK Blanc des Millénaires Champagne 1995

GEROVASSILIOU Malagousia 2015

£129.95

This wine is entirely produced from the Greek grape variety of Malagousia that was saved from extinction due to the efforts of Vangelis Gerovassiliou.

Further to skin contact to enhance the extraction of aromas, it is partially barrel-fermented and then matures on its lees for a few months, gaining depth in flavour and floral aromas.

On the palate the rich flavours of lemon peel enhance the appealing mouthfeel, adding a well-balanced finish. Best served at 8-10 °C. Food pairing: a perfect match for Mediterranean dishes, seafood, poultry, light-sauced pasta dishes and fresh vegetable salads.

Charles Heidsieck is one of the great names of Champagne and produces some of the finest Champagne wines.

The 1995 Blanc des Millénaires is exceptional. It displays all the noble characteristics of mature Chardonnay and has incredible potential for ageing. The bouquet is balanced with a richness and distinct pastry aromas expressing full buttery notes, intense cinnamon and vanilla spice. Silky notes of candied apricots, quince and dried fruits, hazelnuts and almonds.

Backbone of lime and lemongrass with floral notes of honeysuckle and frangipani on the palate. Warm, rich vanilla and a creamy almond finish.

IWC Trophy Winner 2016 and received the rare Decanter Platinum BEST IN SHOW award. “Opulent and complex, with a smoky struck match note dominating the stone fruit and citrus character, supported by well-structured and elegant oak.”

POGGIO SAN POLO Brunello di Montalcino 2010

BOUCHARD FINLAYSON Pinot Noir ‘Galpin Peak’ 2013

£44.95

£23.95

This property was purchased by Valpolicella producer, Marilisa Allegrini, in 2006. Marilisa has continued to invest heavily in the estate and has brought in winemaker Nicola Biasi to build on Poggio San Polo’s already considerable reputation and impressive levels of quality.

Peter Finlayson’s award winning Pinot Noir from the slopes of Galpin Peak is his ultimate passion and a great expression of the variety. Pinot Noir is unique as it displays both a delicacy and richness, but it is often quoted as a varietal with a character of its own and carries the crown of being the most terroir-expressive of all grape varieties.

Poggio San Polo’s 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful wine with a deep sense of aromatic purity and complexity. The bouquet delivers characteristic tones of small berry, forest floor, pressed violets, sweet spice, licorice and cola. Those aromas are both pure and intense, and build in momentum as the wine takes on more air in the glass. This is a fantastic effort with a mouthfeel that is as delicate and light as its it is meaningful and long-lasting. The overall effect is one of elegance and finesse. This is a highly recommendable achievement from a classic vintage.

TASTING NOTES: A confident wine with a firm and polished profile of flavours without being overstated.

It is classically old world with good aging potential. Peppery spice with blackberry and cherry notes, ending in a harmonious and long earthy finish.

FOOD PAIRING: Pairs beautifully with red meats, fish, poultry, game birds, tuna and cheese.

Award Winners INNISKILLIN Gold Vidal Ice Wine 2012 (HALF BOTTLE) £48.95 RAMON BILBAO Rioja Gran Reserva 2009

Ideally suited to the Canadian winter season in both the Niagara Peninsula and the Okanagan Valley, the magical process of crafting Icewine is guided by nature – triggered by the snap of the wintry elements, the harvest can’t begin until temperatures drop below minus eight degrees Celsius for a sustained period of time. Once the extreme temperatures arrive, Icewine pickers arrive, often in the dead of night, to harvest the frozen clusters. Slowly fermented over the coming months, this delicate nectar will eventually become Icewine. Here we have a nose of peach, apricot, and lime. Rich, sweet core of fruit on the palate and a finish of tangerine, apricot, and honey.

£14.95 Harvested from old vines in the vineyards around Haro, this Rioja wine is aged for 30 months in American oak casks, followed by a further 36 months ageing in the cellar. This Rioja has deep ruby red, bonfire aromas are followed by stewed fruit and spices on the palate. Well-structured and harmonious on the finish. A great partner to roast lamb and red meats.

Intense bouquet of black fruits with white pepper and spices underlined by some smoked and mineral notes.

Very fresh and tight structure with an impressive aromatic range. The tannins are ripe and elegant before a very long finish.

Team leader Angela Reddin enjoyed the ‘smoky oak and bitter chocolate aromas with black hedgerow fruits’, also noting: ‘The palate has grip and tension, with dense and deep black fruit flavours, good power and drive.

Needs time to knit more fully together.’

Sweet, purple fruits offer dense, layered tannins and a long finish.”

VIGNETI ZABU ‘Il Passo’ 2014 £12.95 Valentino (of Gran Sasso, Vesevo, Masseria Pietrosa and Lamadoro) saw they had great vineyards and a good winery but were missing the necessary expertise to make wines the market required. Valentino and his team of young winemakers have taken the raw materials and transformed them into wines that people want to drink.

The vineyards for Vigneti Zabù were planted in 2005 on the hills around Lake Arancio in Sambuca di Sicilia in southwestern Sicily.

Tasting notes: Deep coloured and intensely perfumed, this rounded, rich red has generous fruit on the palate, ripe, soft tannins but good structure and a chunky blackberry and spice fruit character. Good length on the long, warm finish.

Something Exclusive TENUTA TRINORO Le Cupole 2013 (Sangiovese)

IL PINO DI BISERNO Tenuta di Biserno, Ludovico Antinori 2011

£34.95 per bottle Christmas offer £27.95

£42.95 per bottle Christmas offer £33.95

This new release from Trinoro is superb and when we tasted it, it exceeded all our expectations. While it’s a great introduction to the Super Tuscan category, it also offers Tuscan wine drinkers outstanding value. “Cupole” combines 62% Cabernet Franc with 24% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot and offers new world flare with a truly Tuscan taste.

This is a wonderfully accessible, inviting wine from the enlightened, pioneering Marchese Lodovico Antinori’s new estate in Tuscany.

“The 2013 Le Cupole di Trinoro hits the palate with racy dark cherries, mocha, plums, espresso and new leather. Radiant and deeply expressive, the 2013 is a great introduction to the Tenuta di Trinoro wines. Cherry compote and cinnamon are some of the notes that shape the super-ripe, opulent finish. Le Cupole is the second selection of fruit and barrels that don’t make it into the top wines. It also happens to be a terrific value. Drinking window: 2016-2023.” Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media, 91 points.

Deep plum velvet, Il Pino di Biserno offers warm, pepper-spiced dark fruit on the nose. Fresh, perfumed, elegant and attractively focused. Both approachable and classical in style, it is supported by earthy tannins.

Accessible, despite its embryonic status, this shows alluring intensity and concentration, although it is more finely textured than previous vintages.

DOMINIO DE PINGUS Psi Peter Sisseck 2011 (Tempranillo) £27.95 per bottle Christmas offer £22.95 With Psi, Peter Sisseck creator of Dominio de Pingus, seeks to capture and protect the very essence of the Ribera del Duero. By revisiting and reinventing tradition, the resulting wine is a lovely, versatile red, with a sense of place.

Peter Sisseck, Bordeaux-trained Danish winemaker has a serious side.

He has always been attracted to the intensity derived from old vine fruit.

Appalled by current drives to uproot such vines in the quest for improved efficiency and growth, Peter has forged relationships with growers, offering them an alternative, paying a premium for fruit and offering advice. From their production, Psi was created, 100% Tinto del Païs (Tempranillo) richly fruited and darkly spiced.

Riedel

The masterclass in a glass!

The first thing I should point out is that simply putting a bad wine in a decent glass will not make it taste good, but when it comes to using different glasses for wellmade varietal wines, it’s more about how the glass can enhance the experience for the consumer.

of the palate. Riedel launched their first range of grape specific glasses in 1961. It has since been said that the taste zones of the tongue are now known to be an oversimplification of the way we taste, so I was keen to revisit the theory of using a different shaped glass to match the style of wine being consumed.

This experience enhancement was the reason ninth-generation glassmaker Claus Riedel sought to produce a range of glasses that could position and deliver the liquid to different ‘taste zones’

In early October we invited Matt Knight, UK Business Manager from Riedel over to host one of his fantastic masterclasses, along with some very keen customers at our Beaumont

shop, we prepared for an evening of swirling and exploring the theories behind the science.

Riedel produce a tasting set within their new Veritas® range consisting of 4 styles of glass; Riesling/Zinfandel, Oaked Chardonnay, Old World Pinot Noir and a Cabernet/Merlot glass. The full Veritas® range consists of the 4 styles mentioned already, plus New World Pinot Noir, Old and New Work Syrah/Shiraz, Viognier/ unoaked Chardonnay and a Champagne Glass.

educated customers leaving the shop saying they found the whole experience a fantastic and worthwhile night out.

Now, I appreciate that some of you sceptics reading this may think that this must all be in the mind, but if I had to convince you to try something at least once this Christmas, it would be to pop in to any of our 3 shops and ask a member of the Dunell’s team to try the Veritas® range of glasses with the wines on our By The Glass® tasting machines.

With each glass in the set, Matt guided the group through a series of comparative tastings, first pouring the wine in to the correct glass, then switching the

wine into the incorrect glass to see how the wine differed. On each occasion it was clear that all those taking part experienced the benefits from using the correct glass matched to its varietal wine.

The Wine Bean’s Top 5 Wine Festive Faux-Pas! Serving wine at the wrong temperature

Not decanting or aerating wine

Serve whites chilled and reds at room temperature right? Well, not quite. It could work if you live in a drafty castle with a huge underground wine cellar. But seeing as most of us now live in modern houses or apartments without the underground cellar, we usually store whites in the refrigerator and reds in the kitchen wine rack. Still whites wines should be served at around 10-120c and reds at 15-180c.

Consider removing whites from the fridge 10 minutes before serving to allow them to come up to temperature. On the flip side if reds are too warm pop them in the fridge for half an hour or over ice for ten minutes for a quick chill down to their ideal range. The reason for this is simple; the aromas in white wines served too cold will be muted when tasted, and reds served too warm will be overpowered by their alcohol.

Quite simply decanting or aerating is the process of moving the wine from its bottle to decanter. The action of decanting or aerating a wine exposes it to the air and allows the wine to open up and release its flavours and aromas. Also a wine with aggressive tannins will soften with some exposure to air, plus the sediment in an aged wine can be removed whilst decanting. Some people like to decant their Champagne, this can have the same effect on the aromas whilst softening the effervescence of more aggressive Champagnes.

If the wine you intend to drink is either very expensive or in a larger sized bottle than will be consumed in one sitting, the use of a clever device called a Coravin® can allow you to enjoy a glass of your favourite premium wine without the need to even open the bottle! The hollow

needle on the device penetrates through the cork and when the wine is poured a small amount of Argon gas replaces the space in the bottle. When the device is removed from the bottle, the cork reseals automatically and the wine can be returned to your cellar or wine rack. For a Coravin® demonstration, feel free to pop in and ask a member of the team at any of our three branches.

Using the wrong glassware I cannot stress the importance of using the correct glassware to serve wine in. It makes a big difference to how the wine is delivered to the mouth and can influence the taste of the wine in a very positive way when done correctly. Riedel produce a huge range of glassware that is designed for exactly this reason, something that we can demonstrate in any of our three shops with our Veritas® range.

Storing wine incorrectly

stored even for a short period of time either in too warm or too cold a temperature can be damaged making it unpleasant to Many people think that only drink. The key here is consistency expensive wines intended for and humidity. A wine stored long ageing need to be stored where the temperature fluctuates correctly, but any wine that is from very cold to very warm will become damaged very quickly. Wines stored in the kitchen can be ‘cooked’ if stored above kitchen cupboards and the opposite can happen to wines stored in a For me there is no better way to begin cold garage. the Christmas Day festivities than with a glass of Billecart-Salmon Brut Just think Rosé NV - £54.95 (Christmas Offer about those £44.95) It has to be, in my opinion, the flagship Champagne of the BillecartSalmon house. Perfect on its own or to accompany my favourite smoked salmon starter.

Nick’s favourites For the main event, I usually opt for a Northern Rhône Syrah, however this year I shall be opting for a steadfast performer from South Africa - Rustenberg’s ‘Buzzards Kloof’ Syrah - £16.95. Located on their coolest site, the fruit undergoes an extended period of ripening on the vine that produces a robust wine with big flavours and that all-important Syrah spice, perfect for the turkey or indeed a nice piece of venison.

Food and wine matching Whilst it’s easy to promote the ‘Drink-what-you-like’ theory when choosing wine, do ensure that you don’t pair food with wine that will clash. It is best to avoid tannic reds with oily fish, for example, and to ensure the wine has enough acidity when matching with similarly acidic or fatty foods.

Other examples of food pairings would to balance the weight of the wine to the dish, and always ensure the dessert wine matches the sweetness of the pudding you are serving.

What is Port?

A British Christmas tradition of foods. Chill it down and serve with Fois Gras, or serve with a dessert containing strawberries, raspberries, cherries or currents.

This has to be the best match for the Christmas pudding!

Quinta de la Rosa 20yr Old Tawny - £22.95 per half litre (Christmas offer £18.95) is made in a dry style and has a very seductive texture on the palate with flavours of dried fruits and cherry liqueur.

Vintage Port – Only made in the best years declared as vintage.

Here is the perfect partner to the classic Stilton, but why not also try with other cheeses such as Cheddar, Gloucester and even an aged crumbly Parmesan!

The Quinta de la Rosa Vintage 1999 at £69.95 per bottle should be treated like a superstar soloist, with the cheese as the backing band. Coming from the last great vintage of the Century only 5,500 bottles were produced (and Neil actually tread the

grapes for this vintage in their lagares), with all the fruit coming from the Vale do Inferno vineyard, hand built by Sophia’s great grandfather before the first world war! A powerful vintage Port with bags of concentrated fruit, chocolatey and a rounded long finish. Really very special indeed and you better be quick because we only have limited stock left!

Port really is the perfect Christmas drink and with over 70 Ports to choose from across our 3 shops and online, we’re sure you’ll find your perfect match this Christmas.

Nick.. Boa Saude! ‘

For a country that has embraced drinking Port since the 17th Century it’s surprising that we, the British public, only buy on average one bottle per year – at Christmas.

From the hillsides of the Douro valley in Portugal, this fortified wine is produced in hundreds of Port Houses, many of which were once, and for some still are, British owned.

But this special drink has much more to offer than simply the accompaniment to cheese, it can be paired with desserts, sipped as a digestif and works with a whole host of dishes if given a little thought.

So, with a little bit of planning here is how port can be more than just partner to the Christmas cheeseboard.

Late Bottled Vintage – A great match with venison, pheasant or partridge. Quinta de la Rosa LBV 2010 - £17.95 per bottle (Christmas offer £13.95) is mysterious and not immediately expressive. It has dark fruit aromas with an intense spice, bitter chocolate and cherry liqueur flavours follow on the palate.

If you want to stick with the traditional this luscious wine will partner a nice chocolate dessert perfectly. Simply superb LBV Port at a fantastic price, especially this Christmas.

Tawny Ports – Tawny Port is a great partner to a wide variety

This forward 1992 is deeply-coloured, rich, and exhibits admirable structure and length.”

NIEPOORT Late-Bottled-Vintage 2011£16.95 per bottle Christmas Offer £14.95 Winemaker Dirk Niepoort calls this the “Little Brother” of his Vintage Port, as the origins of the grapes and vinification methods are identical. Deep red colour with a very vivacious, lively aroma of fresh dark plums, cherries and a hint of chocolate along with a silky aroma giving the wine great finesse.

Fabulous extract on the palate with a tight grainy texture intertwined with fresh dark fruits and a mellow spirity finish. The wine can be enjoyed now, and will become more complex with further cellaring. To fully benefit from its qualities, we recommend it be decanted before serving. Serve with soft cheeses, mild blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts or a pepper steak!

Neil’s favourites

My first pick would be the Dead Arm Shiraz 2005 from d’Arenberg in the McLaren Vale, Australia (£39.95).

We have a limited number of this fantastic vintage which just shouts everything that is great about Aussie Shiraz, blackberries, blueberries, toast, spice with super-concentration and length, a definite second glass (or bottle) wine! It is opaque purple/black with an expansive perfume of toast, smoke, spice box, mineral, pencil lead, tar, liquorice, blueberry, and blackberry. Fullbodied, opulent, and

super-concentrated…”

My second pick is another stunner the Relentless Shiraz 2010 from Shafer Vineyards in Napa Valley (£79.95), America is a big wine but so elegant. If you’ve ever heard someone say a wine is ‘creamy’ this wine is what they are talking about, it is stunning.

Big red and black fruits with spicy, smoky notes slide down the throat with ease.

So a couple of perfect ‘treatyourself’ wines that I hope you enjoy as much as I do over the festive period.

Jane’s favourites I am a massive fan of red wines, big styled reds in fact but I still love a chilled glass of rosé from time to time. If I was to choose a ‘go to’ rosé I would definitely choose Mirabeau’s ‘Pure’ Provence Rosé 2015 (£11.95 but on Christmas offer at £9.95). Made from some of the highest vineyards in the Côtes de Provence, Grenache, Syrah and a smattering of Vermentino blend together to create a harmony of cherry and raspberry flavours with beautiful finesse and concentration. I love drinking this on its own but it’s also great with seafood, Asian food and many cheeses.

If I fancied splashing out a little more, I would choose Château Miraval’s Provence Rosé 2015 at £16.95 (I do love the Provence rosés). This is the first wine (and unfortunately the last) made

by the somewhat unlikely partnership of the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, all in strict adherence to organic viticultural practices.

Unfortunately, the two are now filing for divorce and have literally just put their 1,200 acre estate on the market, immediately removing the Jolie-Pitt name from its labels.

This highly regarded wine is a blend equally shared by Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah and Rolle (a.k.a.

Vermentino), with the Syrah partially macerated on its skin by the saignée method. Aromatics of forest floor and wild strawberry with hints of herb, lead to an impressive palate, reassuringly yet deceptively powerful. I’d stock up on wine if I was you, both to enjoy and to also keep as you never know how much this wine could be worth in the future!

D U N E L L’ S C H R I S T M A S G U I D E

I love Billaud Simon Chablis 1er Cru ‘Les Vaillons’ (£22.95) for the exuberant floral and fruit aromas.

My ‘go to’ wine is Ramon Bilbao’s Rioja Reserva from Spain @ £11.95 (Christmas offer £8.95), I keep coming back to it! If in doubt grab a bottle - or a case. Rich red fruits with soft vanilla and spice, velvety mouthfeel, incredibly more-ish and perfectly priced. This is one I really enjoy and I let my friends help themselves too.

Rioja is the great Spanish wine region that makes wines with mass-appeal, especially with producers like Bilbao who have a more modern fruit forward style. Ramon Bilbao (voted best

Jose’s favourites It’s my wife’s all-time favourite.

She’ll decide the food to enjoy with it, but most likely it’s gambas and lobster. For a nice red, I’d

choose Château Les Ormes de Pez 2008 (£24.95), just because it’s Christmas and I’m thinking casserole, vension perhaps.

Alick’s favourites Spanish Winery by the IWSC) wines are great value, whether you go for the fruity un-oaked Joven, toasty Crianza, Velvety Reserva or the elegant ‘Limitada’ - you won’t be disappointed. This Reserva is so drinkable by itself but also works wonderfully with a wide range of red meats, mature cheeses or curried/spicy dishes.

Something a little bit more serious and different is Bouchard Finlayson’s Hannibal from South Africa at £19.95. Bouchard Finlayson is a boutique South African winery that is acclaimed worldwide for being the pioneer of Pinot Noir in South

Africa. Hannibal (the name portrays the link between France and Italy with Hannibal the conqueror’s symbolism of the elephants crossing the Alps) is a really unusual blend of Italian and French varietals Sangiovese & Pinot Noir (and others) from South Africa. This wine is medium-bodied and has powerful olive and black cherry flavours that are complex and layered with cranberries and spice. There is just so much going on in this silky-smooth wine. Great with full-flavoured meat and Italian style dishes. A must try!

‘Sherry’ Christmas A new generation of wine drinkers is embracing this idiosyncratic, fortified product from Spain’s deep south. It’s one of the treasures of the wine world that, for a while, has been woefully underappreciated but is rapidly growing in popularity and we’re on a mission to convince you to drink more of it by sharing our enthusiasm. Light the fire, grab yourselves some top quality almonds and olives, a glass of one of these four beauties below and sip away…

Emilio Lustau Dry Amontillado ‘Los Arcos’ £12.95 per bottle Christmas Offer £10.95

amazingly fresh, nothing like the big black sweet PX wines, some quince jelly, trace oxidative notes and wood, cinnamon, fragrant, quite different to normal (palomino) Sherry, and most attractive. Medium-dry, decent tangy acidity balances the sweetness, so doesn’t cloy, that quincey-raisin flavour predominates with slight notes of gingerbread, broader, fatter in style to the palomino wines, with perhaps a little more texture, lovely and clean with a very long finish. Delicious, really friendly.

A text book Amontillado of great maturity, made from 100% Palomino Fino grapes. Naturally dry and soft, its palate gives a hint of wood and smoky raisins. A powerful and distinctive nutty bouquet. A better Amontillado would be difficult to find. Serve slightly chilled as a warming apéritif.

ROBERT PARKER 90 points ‘The dry, medium amber-hued non-vintage Dry Amontillado Los Arcos offers good body as well as a heady personality.’

Ximenez-Spinola Pedro Ximenez ‘Vintage’ ‘Anada’ 2013 Ximenez-Spinola Pedro Ximenez ‘Old Harvest’ Oloroso (Medium-Dry) £19.95 per half litre Christmas Offer £16.95 XS uniquely only make Sherry from PX, and this is a blend of dry oxidatively aged wine from a solera laid down in 1964, and resembling an oloroso, with sweet wine from a solera laid down in 1918 whose wine’s average age is 25 years. Light amber/old gold through gold to a trace of green at the rim, legs. Aromatic, different, charming. A honeyed sweetness with lots of dried fruit - raisin, obviously, but

£16.95 per half bottle Christmas Offer £14.45 Bright gold colour with old gold reflections, some depth and legs.

Lovely, rich and full, hint oily and sweet - very over-ripe grapes, some light texture and traces of Fino Sherry, apricot jam and perfume, amazingly fresh.

Low acid but retains a certain tang, not over sweet (somewhere around 50grams/litre) but certainly sweet, traces of nut oil, apricot, grapes and yeast from the batonnage. Quite a luscious texture, like a German Auslese, but lower acid and made from PX. Lovely, long, unusual, moreish...

We have many more different sherries available in-store and online so feel free to come and browse or visit our website.

Château du Breuil Our favourite Calvados producer Château du Breuil has just been shortlisted for the award “Brandy producer of the year 2016” in the International Wine and Spirit Competition in London. A highly prized achievement. Du Breuil is our favourite Calvados producer and we have been selling their vast range of products for many years now.

Listed as an historical monument, the Château has been entirely restored by its new owners who have been distilling spirits for three generations.

They produce calvados from the highly regarded French ‘AOC Pays d’Auge’ appellation. Unlike Calvados “AOC”, Calvados with the AOC “Pays d’Auge” requires cider apples produced in the Pays d’Auge area and a double distillation. It makes a finer Calvados, due to the quality of apples produced by the local soil, and to the elimination of the roughest parts of the alcohol during the distillations. Their range is most certainly a ‘MUST TRY’ for all Calvados lovers.

Château du Breuil 2 Year Old ‘Fine Calvados’ Bottle (70cl)

Château du Breuil 4 Year Old ‘VSOP’ Calvados Bottle (70cl)

£23.95 per bottle Christmas offer £19.95

£27.95 per bottle Christmas offer £23.95

Two years of an aging in oaks casks give a gold colour to the fruity taste of its youth. Vigorous and fresh on the palate, it’s a product carrying the “Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée Pays d’Auge”. All the fragrances of Normandy!

Four years minimum ageing in oak casks give Château du Breuil Calvados V.S.O.P. softness and balanced amber colour.

The fruity elegance of an “Appellation Pays d’Auge Contrôlée” Calvados.

Kasia’s favourites Choosing wine for a special dinner has always been a big dilemma…also for me. I am not the typical ‘champagne girl’ but when it comes to Christmas, a good quality bottle of fizz is unbeatable.

This Christmas I will be enjoying the superb ‘Pelegrim’ Extra Dry Sparkling Wine (£19.95) from Kent.

England has never made so many delicious, high quality sparkling wines and this is for me the No.1 choice. It delivers complexity of fruit as well as elegance and smoothness as it’s been made and aged in exactly the same way as Champagne. It’s a perfect pairing for smoked salmon, shellfish or oysters but I would happily drink it also on its own.

Slow roasted duck is a tradition for me on Boxing Day paired with a new world Pinot Noir but not this

year. I have recently discovered the superb Barolos made by G.D.Vajra and I am sure one of these beauties will be on my Christmas table. Vajra’s ‘Bricco delle Viole’ Barolo (£59.95) is superbly elegant with only a touch of oak not to hide any of its pristine flavours and clearly defined perfumes. I am sure it would be equally delicious with any game, goose or turkey dishes.

Christmas without a cheese platter and chocolate brownies wouldn’t be complete for me.

This is a simple decision as Maury Rouge (from Domaine Pouderoux - £11.95 per half litre) works wonders with both dark chocolate desserts and varied, hard and blue cheeses. It is a red dessert wine from old Grenache vines that is not overly sweet and is very moreish. It would make a delicious after dinner drink too.

Fiona’s favourites First of all, Christmas tends to be a time when you remember loved ones that are no longer with you.

The medium bodied juicy plum flavours with a hint of liquorice and smoothness go nicely with turkey and all the trimmings.

My mum used to love sherry, so in her honour I love to have an aperitif of Emilio Lustau Dry Amontillado ‘Los Arcos’ (£12.95).

Either whilst cooking lunch, or waiting while somebody else cooks lunch! The dry smokey raisin and nutty flavours go perfectly with salted almonds to get the appetite going.

Lastly I really love the much underappreciated Gewurztraminer grape, either Little Beauty Marlborough Gewurztraminer (£15.95) or Mittnacht Gewurztraminer ‘Les Terres Blanches’ (£15.95) are perfect choices. Intensely aromatic with lychee and citrus flavoured with a peppery, spicy finish is mouth coating wine and goes perfectly with spicy food. So what more could you want with your turkey curry on the day after boxing day?

Next, I love Gran Sasso Montepulciano d’Abruzzo ‘Alta Quota’ Colline Teramane DOCG (£14.95).

Craft Beer Revolution - Innis and Gunn Innis & Gunn are a Scottish brewer who makes well-crafted, full flavoured beers, experimenting tirelessly with new recipes and ingredients. Their beers mainly use oak-ageing to give the beer new flavours opening up a whole world of gastronomic food matching options. Since their not-so-traditional ales did so well, they, after being begged by their customers, also introduced a Lager (not oak aged) which has been taking Jersey by storm as a refreshing alternative to the bland mainstream offerings. We highly recommend you taste it and see why!

We are very proud of our huge selection of over 100 craft beers available in all three shops as well as on our website.

“Ever since that heady day we’ve dedicated ourselves to sharing the unique flavours of our oak aged beers with the world, proving that a little luck can go a long way.” Innis and Gunn

INNIS & GUNN Craft Brewed Lager CASE x 24 CANS (500ml) 4.6%alc £26.95

INNIS & GUNN Original Oak Aged Beer CASE x 24 Bottles 6.6%alc (330ml) £39.95

Christmas Offer £19.95 Case x 12 Bottles (330ml) £17.95 Christmas Offer £13.95

Christmas Offer £29.95

This Lager takes its inspiration from the German style of lager, Helles (‘lightcoloured’). First produced in Munich in the late 1800s as an alternative to the typical ‘dunkelbier’ (‘dark coloured beer’).

Like the first Helles beer this has a sweet, malty flavour balanced with a light aromatic hoppiness that makes it very refreshing. The Naked Golden Oats are grown without husks so that even more sweetness and flavour can be extracted from the grains during brewing. Pale gold in colour with a nose of lemon zest, macadamia nuts and sweet biscuity malt. The taste is crisp Helles-style. Soft, aromatic hops and rich nuttiness from the oats.

Smooth and refreshing.

INNIS & GUNN ‘Toasted Oak IPA’ Indian Pale Ale CASE x 12 Bottles 5.6%alc (330ml) £18.95 Christmas offer £15.95 India Pale Ale first made its name in the 19th century. They’re hoping their pioneering IPA can make its mark too.

Its fervent hoppy character hails from the unique addition of large quantities of hops at three separate points during brewing. The result is a beer that’s rounded yet refreshing, with delicate floral notes and oodles of zesty freshness. The colour is pale gold with aromas of freshly mown grass, clean grapefruit and pine trees. On the palate it has rich vanilla from the oak, with lots of zestiness and a light bitterness from the hops. The finish is full bodied, but still crisp and refreshing.

Innis & Gunn oak-aged beer is like no other. Their pioneering production process is unique to them, a world first.

In fact, it was discovered by accident!

Using oak to age beer is unheard of.

But, the flavours imparted by the oak barrels (previously used to mature bourbon) lend an incredible depth of taste. Think vanilla, toffee and orange aromas, with a malty, lightly oaked palate; soothing and warm in the finish. There is nothing like this among mass produced beers. Try it and see for yourself...

The colour is a warm, golden-honey and the aromas are of caramel and rich roasted malts. On the palate it is incredibly smooth with a delicious toffee character and a light hop fruitiness and the finish is creamy and warming.
