Wolf Blass is fast gaining a strong reputation as Australia’s leading wine producer. Already, the label has won an unprecedented four times Australia’s most coveted trophy, the Jimmy Watson.
Wolf Blass Yellow Label Pinot Noir Chardonnay sparkling wine fuses delicate apple chardonnay flavours and strawberry Pinot Noir characters, providing a refreshing, distinctive taste.
Wolf Blass Yellow Label Pinot Noir Chardonnay Sparkling Brut is available now from branches of Sainsbury’s and Morrison’s, and from independent wine merchants nationwide priced £9.99…..An award winning sparkler, for less than a tenner? Amazing!
And how about this? The oldest continuously operating winery in the Napa Valley uses traditional winemaking techniques to produce wines with vibrant fruit flavours and spicy nuances like the Beringer Sparkling Zinfandel Rosé.
Serve well chilled, this neat crisp sparkling Californian Rosé is great with light foods, or just nice to enjoy on it’s own. Distinctive, bright, fruit flavours, which are enlivened even more by the bubbles, this Rosé has bags of strawberry and citrus coming through.
Beringer Sparkling Zinfandel Rosé is available now from Asda, Waitrose, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco, priced £7.99.
Clipper Teas, Pioneers in Natural and Hot drinks, have recently rebranded after over 25 years good service.
Their range includes the finest blends of green tea, white tea and organic teas and infusions, and was the first tea in the UK to carry the Fairtrade mark.
I have been aware of their Expresso coffee for some time and there are times when I come to depend on such a quality coffee (I have two young boys…)
Clipper have launched a variety of gift hampers, for that person that just loves a cuppa. I bet you can think of a few worthy recipients right away.
The Indulgence hamper (£30.00) is exactly that, the ideal gift for someone who really needs a treat.
The Hamper is beautifully constructed willow containing some of Clippers best from their tea, coffee and hot chocolate ranges.
I cannot stress how lovely this looks as a whole. It’s a gift that will be appreciated cup after cup.
Described as “The Dom Perignon of the Tea World” by the Sunday Times, These amazing, exotic Teas by Choi Time make a special gift – something a little bit different.
All these loose leaf teas are award winning, year after year. The joy is watching each different bulb unfurl and produce a great tasting, health giving Tea.
The Benefits of these teas include aiding digestion, weight loss, anti ageing and high anti oxidant levels. The fact that they taste great obviously helps!
The teas can be purchased online and I can recommend the Gift packs, which would be great for Valentines or Mothers day.
Aesthetically stunning, great tasting and good for you. Ditch the PG tips….
Sometimes, I think I am lucky in my line of work. When Inverawe Smokehouse delivered their Cheese and Wine tray, my thoughts were confirmed.
Inverawe Smokehouse, Scotland’s specialist smokehouse and Royal Warrant holders produce smoked goodies like I have never tasted. Their smoked salmon is arguably the greatest ever (some statement, I know, but completely founded)
Each individual piece of fish or game (or some of my cheeses) are hand smoked in traditional brick kilns for up to 48 hours. This slow smoking process offers up a unique tasted and texture that gives Inverawe its reputation.
The Cheese and wine tray, complete with Wicker bread basket contains nothing short of heaven. A fine bottle of Montrose Cabernet Syrah, 200g Cropwell Bishop stilton, 110g Smoked Island cheddar, 190g Inverawe smoked Brie and 200g Mr Mackenzie oatcakes makes for a fine gift hamper.
The cheeses were all really good, The smoked Brie sublime. I am not too ashamed to admit that once I tasted this, I finished it in one sitting!
Inverawe are offering other gift hampers filled with sustenance and prepared with love for Valentines, such as Whiskey and smoked salmon box or the Port and Stilton box. Please check out their site for these and lot’s more devastatingly wonderful treats. All these gift hampers are available for under £40.00 each.
To mildly understate, I am a big fan.
Lily O’Brien’s Chocolate treasure chests just look fantastic. What’s really rather good is they taste fantastic too! As a gift, who would not enjoy receiving one of these delightful choco packages?
Choose from an amazing array of chocolates including Double chocolate caramel, white chocolate truffle and Valencia orange. Once eaten, the chests make lovely little storage boxes.
Available from Lakeland, The Home of creative kitchenware, the 3 drawer chest is £12.99, 6 drawer is £19.99.
