Palazzo Del Torre Nero D' Avola 2017, Sicilia (Italy)
This is a delicious drop from Sicily that has quite rich, chocolately dark fruits but is soft and easy on the palate and it should appeal to one and all. If we ever serve lasagne then this would be the one.

Rully 1ER Cru La Pucelle 2015, Domaine Jacqueson (France)
With the prices of Puligny and Meursault going through the roof we do have to look at other villages in the Cotes de Beaune and Rully has always been a great buy. When you then factor in the finest of growers what's not to like?!

Valdespino is one of the oldest Bodegas in Jerez going back to 1264....I should imagine they have got the hang of it by now! The Manzanilla is dry and fresh with a saline finish. The Fino is the only Fino fermented in oak barrels and is beautifully dry and finally the PX is dark and sweet and will go beautifully with a sticky toffee pudding or something similar.
