Following our Global Pinot Noir Masters earlier this year, we bring you 32 top-scoring bottles from the competition, including a set of outstanding drops from California and Central Otago, along with Champagne and Sancerre – as well as a surprising discovery from Kazakhstan.
This has been a year like no other, so I am sure you are looking forward to enjoying Christmas and hoping that next year will be less stressful.
There are several stunning, inexpensive wines among my collection, but this is also a time for splashing out, so there are tempting bottles at all prices for you to reward your palate and those of your friends.
As always, as soon as my list is printed there is a rush to buy the wines, so don’t delay.
While some of the merchants might not be local to you, they all deliver nationwide and if you take advantage of case prices and other deals noted here, you can save plenty of cash.
