September Spectator Mini-Bar Offer

Simon Hoggart's latest selection for the month of September

issue 23 August 2008

Next month we launch the new all-singing, all-dancing, bells and whistles super-duper Spectator wine club, which will be much the same as the old Spectator wine club, but bigger. And even better.

Meanwhile, as you wait with bated breath (not ‘baited’ breath; you do not have a piece of cheese or a worm on your tongue), I heartily recommend these wines from Swig, one of our popular and successful merchants. They buy up smallish parcels of superb wines that you simply will not find elsewhere. There is a degree of risk for Swig, because most people haven’t heard of these wines. Sometimes they fail to sell briskly enough from the list, which is why there are generous discounts here.

The Iona Sauvignon Blanc 2007 (1) is lovely, packed with subtle grassy, apple flavours, rich yet very dry.
