EASTER with the relatives

Case price

Normal price


Perhaps, it is, that you are required to drag partners, offspring and chocolate eggs to far flung parts of the Kingdom this Easter. Never mind - back to work Tuesday and you can have a rest then. In the meantime, a case of wine to lubricate the machinations of familial obligation. Some of our consistently excellent LEA & SANDEMAN Bordeaux, the slightly chunkier 2010 in this case. "Look what a good wine merchant my wine merchant is," you can say, and they will agree and think what excellent selector of wine merchants you are. But, not with the sumptuous Easter Sunday dinner they will have prepared. "Something grander, something more worthy of your excellent cooking,"you'll say, and whip out a 2009 (2009! I know!) claret. A delight. They'll invite you again next year. Did someone say BBQ? Someone will. Two things. A nice hearty red with deep fruit and a tickle of spice, sort of like a Malbec but you're more original than to turn up with a Malbec (everyone's going to turn up with a Malbec), oh no, you're the one who brought the Fronton, the Bellevue la Foret Fronton and they will remember. And a classy, dry and beyond lovely rosé, because the sun will be shining. Somewhere in all this you're going to need some white wine, something zippy fresh, vaguely familiar but, at the same time, astoundingly different. Rippon Sauvignon Blanc - it's Kiwi Sauvignon Jim, but not as we know it.
