Imagine you were a wine lover and you just found out that your mum had played an away match with Jeff Bezos and you were about to come into millions in owed child support; what would you drink this Christmas? Yeah, this is a fantasy column but so what, we’ve been living some sort of alternate reality since March anyway!
I like a white to start Christmas lunch and while my preference would be a sauvignon, I could be tempted with daddy Jeff's cash to plump for a nice Batard Montrachet from Burgundy. I'd go for one about five years old with a nice yellow colour and a nose like hot buttered crumpets. That's always a good way to burn a hole in a hundred or so, but I might also have to have a bottle of Didier Dagenau Sauvignon from the wild man of the Loire on hand as a top-up. Dagenau produce the most intense, eye popping sauvignons in the world. Sorry New Zealand, but you were okay when I was poor and pretending to be rich but now...
