What’s the fuss about Prosecco ?

First uncorked by Toff in Offers on 07 23 2008

It appears my friends that the Italians are trying to muscle in on the Champagne and that yucky Cava liquid that Chav’es like to drink with bottles of Prosecco

It’s apparently rather fashionable to drink over lunch at Italian restaurants across our very kingdom.

Prosecco is designed to be drunk young, aged not in bottles but super sized pressurised tanks! We’ve not tasted this one yet, but it’s apparently softer than champagne and naturally much, much cheaper.

Take a look at the bottles available at Majestic to see for yourself.

Varieties include Prosecco Rabosa Rosado NV, Prosecco Frizzante Il Cortigiano NV Veneto and Prosecco di Conegliano Valdobbiadene Extra Dry NV Italy

Personalised Champagne

First uncorked by Toff in Offers on 07 09 2008

Need the wow factor for a gift or special occasion? Look no further than this scrumptious bottle of personalised champagne from J. de Telmont vineyards in the heart of the Champagne region.

Champagne J. de Telmont is we’re sad to say one of the last remaining family run houses in Champagne. The L’hopital family today still manages the estate with one single and simple objective - To perpetuate the tradition of the house.

This competent brut Champagne is the end result of a delicate marriage of three Champagne grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Meunier (quite rare) and Chardonnay. As a non vintage champagne it is made up of wines from different years. It’s a decent champagne which is well balanced and constructedwith a fresh nose.

A perfect gift for someone who has it all.
