They beat everybody on the sparking stuff! I enjoy good wines but I am afraid that I find the Australian Chardonnays a bit too heavy on taste!

Re: Tomorrow
It is all a matter of personal taste, dear (or lack of it).Of the thousands (literally) of white wines produced here, I wonder how many you have tried.
I prefer a semilon sav blanc or simply a sav blanc - to a chardonnay.
Perhaps you might try any of these - particularly those from the Margaret River region of Western Australia.

I'm not much into reds but if you can spare a few thousand quid ,
an early Penfolds Grange might tickle your taste buds.

BTW, is this you by any chance?

Well strangely enough, I do know of a local cattery which also produces a small amount of wine.
It would remiss of me not to introduce Pummy to our UK wines.
