Wine Club 6 July

issue 06 July 2019

Our offer from Corney & Barrow is absolutely jam-packed this week so I trust you’ll forgive me if I get straight to the nitty-gritty. Regular readers will recall the fabled Brett-Smith Indulgence, whereby C&B’s MD, Adam Brett-Smith, knocks a few extra quid off a case for anyone buying two dozen bottles or more (on top of the existing Speccie discount). Well, we’ve decided to streamline things and apply said discount to just the one case. How’s that for good news? The following prices are therefore as tasty as the wines they apply to.

2018 La Muse de Cabestany Chardonnay/Viognier (1) is an undemanding light and fruity white from the excellent Celliers Jean d’Alibert co-operative in Languedoc. It’s made expressly for C&B and is new to their list, making it an ideal summer wine. £8.50 down from £9.50.

Furmint is famed for the fabulous sweet wines of Tokaj but is now prized for its dry wines too and the 2018 Egy Kis Dry Furmint (2) is a wonderful example.
