Subject: Re: sparkling wine..what a great surprise |
| Hello Sigi (and all on the wineforum list) I do not have personal experience of Nyetimber sparkling wines, but I do know that the Queen serves it to visiting heads of state from all around the world, at state banquets. Enough said, I suppose! By the way, I don't know how I came to be a "subscriber" to this list, but it is most interesting. By the way, if anyone reading this in the U.K is a fan of wines from the Languedoc and Rhone, you may like to visit our site at www.lsfinewines.co.uk and take a look. Cheap shot, I know, but you could always join our mailing list, too - we are a relatively new business, and need as many visitors as we can get - and our wine list will soon grow, when we add even more great wines!
