55. Alpha Zeta ‘R’ Rosato, 2007/8 Italy 12%
Lovely, light yet flavoursome rosé from Italy; plenty of vibrant strawberry and raspberry
fruit with hints of plum. Very drinkable indeed, both as an aperitif or with light dishes. |

56. Pulenta ‘La Flor’ Malbec Rosé 2007, Argentina 14%
A great addition to the list, this is, as you can see by the colour, a generously flavoured
rosé – nothing wishy-washy at all. Sweet, ripe and spicy fruit with a quite refreshing palate. |

60. Mionetto Legatura Rose Frizzante NV Italy 12%
Dangerous...seriously, be warned: one bottle of this gorgeous frothy pink wine rarely suffices. Just off-dry, with creamy soft bubbles and lots of strawberry/plum fruit it is a party starter like no other.

67. Pol Roger White Foil Brut NV 12.5%
More obviously famous houses are shovelling prices up on a daily basis – problem is
the quality doesn’t go up at the same time.
This is dear Winston’s favourite Champagne house, and he knew a thing or two. |

82. Stanton & Killeen Rutherglen Muscat, Australia 17.5%, 37.5cl
Like liquid velvet on the palate. It is massively viscous with rich fruit.
Grapey and raisiny, hugely sweet with honeyed fruit, molasses again, yet retaining a freshness. Sensational, decadent sweet muscat of the highest quality
