WINE WRITER

Dave covers Marlborough (p58) and Mudgee (p66) What should we try from these regions? With Mudgee, enjoy its great rieslings; a revelation for me. As for Marlborough, dive into the subregionality of sauvignon blanc from the Southern Valleys and Awatere, and get stuck into those lovely pinots. Which wines are you loving right now? Gamay, grenache and Barolo. And I’m rekindling my love affair with Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino.
