The message
from David Rance contains these words: So what English wine (preferably at an affordable price) would you say is NOT thin and either acid or lacking in flavour? Well, the most recent wines I have bought have been local ones from the Thames Valley Vineyard at Twyford. They do a very nice dry wine called "Regatta" (!). They also have a sweet wine which they call "Botrytis" (you'd think they could be a bit more imaginative, wouldn't you?). It's not bad - 10.5% alcohol and they produce it only when the conditions are right. There's an established, though fairly young vinyard near me in South Norfolk. (The Magdalen one I mentioned is not, I believe in existence any longer. Peter Cook - not the late P. Cook - sold it, and IIRC, the person who bought it didn't make a go of it.) If I remember, I'll buy a bottle and report on it - though to be fair, I don't like white wines, generally. (I like being hit with a Shiraz sledgehammer...) -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
