Loads of lovely New Year Bin-Ends!

Les Trouveres White-affordable crowd pleasing white from the south of France,
it has a subtle delicate aroma with a nose of citrus and a touch of grapefruit. On it’s palate it has a good balance of up front peachy fruit with a zingy citrussy finish. £4.80

Les Trouveres Rose-what a beautifully delicate nose of raspberries and hints of cherry tobacco. The palates elegance and class is obvious right from the first sip, this wine is perfect for a light seafood starter, personally I think you couldn’t go wrong with a prawn cocktail to accompany this summers afternoon pink. £4.80

Luna Blanco Verdejo-I love the nose on this wine, it has aromas of fresh green apple and grass. This wine has a fresh crisp palate with a touch of minerality and a fruity and almost mild grapefruit dry finish, One of my favourites. £6 or 2 for a tenner

Lalla Gully Riesling - this is a rather powerful riesling from tasmania with a nose that makes you feel like your walking through a botanical garden. It is rich  and packed with  interesting aromas. The palate on this wine is just as big as the nose with a medium weight crisp, refreshing zing to its pear drop like hints, and pot-pourri complexity. This wine is a star, a definite must try. £7

Tutiac-Cotes de Blaye
A bit of a gem from Bordeaux, with an excellent balance of fruit and floral aromas.
The classic Cotes de Blaye blend of Semillon and Sauvignon can sometimes lack elegance, but this has structure, balance and a huge whack of acidity
I even detected a hints of minerallity and earthy tones on the nose. £7

New Weissbier

Weihenstephan "Vitus" Weizenbock £2.50

The worlds oldest brewery has finally decided to release its top-end weissbier in the U.K. and it's well worth the wait. A strong (7.7%a.b.v.) bock, with a pale creamy gold colour and a drier edge than most strong wheat beers. Well worth a shot if you are a fan of the house style, but crave something with a bit of bite.
