Six irresistible white Burgundies from Mr Wheeler

It was tasty, well-priced red Bordeaux last week and it’s tasty, well-priced white Burgundy this week. Don’t say we don’t love you. All we crave is your happiness and we work hard to attain that.

By which I mean that I drink as much as I can on your behalf. Team player, that’s me. Mrs Ray tries to stick her oar in too, of course, and it’s a full-time job trying to save her from herself. It’s not that she’s not helpful. It’s just that the singing and dancing on the tables does grate after a while…

Burgundy is darn pricy these days, but if you look hard enough and trust your source – in this instance, the astute Mr Wheeler – then toothsome bargains can be found. Get stuck in, I say. Add some to the bottles you bought last week, and you’ll have bloody Christmas pretty much sorted.
