It’s back to Tanners this month, whose offer in June was such a great hit with readers. We’ve another fine selection this time too. There is no theme as such — these are simply the wines I liked the most and they’re jolly well-priced too, with only one over a tenner. Discounts are hard to come by but I’m delighted to report that Robert Boutflower, private sales director at Tanners, cracked in the end and gave us up to a quid a bottle off.
We’ve offered a couple of reds from Sicily over the past few months, but never a white and I’m delighted finally to redress the balance with the easy-going 2014 Preciso Grillo (1). Complex and intricate it ain’t, but light, juicy, refreshing and deliciously undemanding it is, extremely quaffable with a long lemony, melony finish. Sicily’s wines are increasingly well-made and attractive and this example is ideal for an Indian summer evening in the garden.
