I was at Borough Market this weekend, and had to stop in at my favourite wine store, Bedales. The shop is owned and managed by a group of wonderful, wine-loving people and is a place where we've become friends rather than just customers. I always try to buy something while I'm there - not just because they have such a great selection, but because they're the sort of store I want to keep around in these tough times.
They serve some very nice prosecco at the market at the weekend, and I was tempted to go home with a bottle of that. But they had on the shelf something I'd not tried before - a sparkling rose from Tigress in Tasmania.
We popped it in the fridge and drank it while eating nachos with homemade guacamole and watching the film Old School. It was a not very serious afternoon, and the Tigress was a fun wine to go along with the mood. The pinot noir/chardonnay blend was only slightly sweet, tasting somewhat of cranberry jelly. It's only fault was that it was more fizzy than sparkling, but unless you're a serious fan of big bubbles like I am, you'll be perfectly happy with this wine.
