Gusbourne Estate Brut Reserve 2008 among Fiona Beckett's exciting wines of 2014!GUSBOURNE 187X125

"And with the World Cup taking place in Brazil next summer, I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty of Brazilian bubbly. I haven't yet tasted anything that's blown me away, but again expect Marks & Sparks and Tesco to be first out of the blocks. Not that we haven't got our own fizz to celebrate with/drown our sorrows: Gusbourne's gold-medal-winning Estate Brut Reserve 2008 being a good example. It would be perfect for New Year's Eve, too." Fiona Beckett, The Guardian, December 28th

Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 among 20 best red wines for Christmas!RIOJA ALTA 270X270

"There's a calm mellow maturity to this classic old Rioja from a traditional producer that has been left untainted by the whims of modern winemaking fashion. A little clove-like spice adds a seasonal edge to the brothy savouriness, leather and still-perky fruit, in a wine that is just so comforting and comfortable.David Williams, The Guardian, December 8th

Pierre Gimonnet a champion among non-vintage Champagnes this ChristmasGIMONNET 187X125 BW

"I am a huge fan of the finessed wines from this grower based in Cuis. All their wines are made only with chardonnay, and all have exciting vitality and an invigorating dryness. The “cuvée oenophile” is also worth seeking out. Steely but stately. Amazing with shellfish." Victoria Moore, The Telegraph, December 6th

A magnum sure is the most generous way to celebrate, especially when it's Vina Ardanza 2004!Viña Ardanza Reserva
"Perfectly mature now, the 2004 Rioja Reserva Viña Ardanza, La Rioja Alta, £37, Majestic, is a classic, with all the sweetly ripe, smoky aromas of traditional rioja and mellow bramble and strawberry fruit flavours that melt in the mouth. A great match for game, duck or goose.." Anthony Rose, The Independent, December 7th
