Hicli, sweet, spicy... the taste of Christmas


WHAT is the taste of Christ­ mas you may ask? My response would be: "It's ricb, sweet, spicy and full of flavour" which, believe it or not, sums up this month’s wine! So, name me three good things that come from Australia. Shane Warne, Ricky Ponting - perhaps cricket is not an appropriate anal­ ogy at this present time - and of course, wine.The wine this month is not any ordi­ nary wine, it's a sweet Muscat from the famous company. Brown Brothers. In 1975, three brothers in their 20s set out across Europe, sent by their father, John Brown snr, to find out about wine and to see if what they discovered could benefit Australian wine production. In the late '70s, of course, nobody saw any kind of threat


from Australian wines. How things have changed! So back to the wine. It is pro­ duced in Victoria in South East Australia, made with the Muscat grape vintage 2004,


and at 11 % alcohol by volume it is easy to drink. The back label states that it goes excellent­ ly with barbecued dishes and desserts, so this month's recipe of pannacotta will be a perfect match. Make no mistake, this wine is excellent. It’s clear, clean, fresh, grapey, not at all cloying and very sweet on the palate. Its rich pale yellow colour reflects the time the grapes have spent in the sun and with our weather dreary at the moment, this will certainly add brightness to any occasion. It is available at D. Byrne and Son, at £5.89
