Wines of the week.

Buckingham Estate Shiraz (14.5%) from Western Australia, £7.99 in Morrisons. This is a complex red with a fantastic jammy richness and is now a serious contender for top spot in my list of all time favourite reds. I chose it randomly whilst stocking up for my recent trip to the IOW and it's a wine I will not only buy time and time again, but one I will give as a present at every available opportunity.

Hawkland Bay NZ Sauv Blanc, currently on offer at under £5 in Asda. Those who know NZ wines know full well you can't really get a bad Sauv from Marlborough, but I must say this one is exception, even by their standards! Truly a masterpiece in winemaking!

Booldawg, we used to get a special edition Nordic Mist blue Tonic Water in Spain.

Craft, some of those dry Rieslings are just gorgeous. Bob and I bought his parents a wine rack and a case of mixed, hand selected wines and I included a lovely Riesling from the Alsace region. I'm hoping for some good feedback!

Hi Newsy, long time no sarcasm.
