David Chandler:
"In this episode, Jason and David must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all they ask is a flight of fine wines and a corkscrew to open them by...
With ABV's on the increase and the prospect of even warmer weather to come, Jason has gone coastal and lined up a half dozen wines that reflect the benign influence of the sea and upon which, you can rely for years to come, even if your hair catches fire.
1) A zingy, sharp as a razor clam, Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine from Jean-François Baron.
2) Napier vineyard's Klein Louis Darling Sauvignon Blanc, irresistible as the call of the siren.
3) A beautifully balanced, mother-of-pearl pink Côtes de Provence Rosé from Clos Saint Magdeleine.
4) An exemplary St Emilion from Château Milonblanc, as approachable and eager to please as a youthful midshipman.
5) A weighty, Bandol Mas de le Rouvière from family Bunan, leathery and spicy as the bosun after ten years at sea.
6) And a golden-tressed, Corsican, vin doux naturelle from Domaine Pieretti, honey-sweet as a mermaid and not to be taken on the rocks."
Salut!
Jason
