Wine with Leslie: Wine to buy now to enjoy in 2023

...and more immediately, how about a wine with a salty mineral tang that's perfect for seafood or simply sipping with some cheese in the garden?

Forrestal has a new range of fabulous Wines from Chile – La Junta! The winery is located in the Curicó Valley towards the coast, at latitude 35º S. 

There are few more evocative words in the wine world than the villages and famous Château of Bordeaux. I know someone that christened his daughter Margaux such was his love of the violet-scented wines of that commune (lucky for her he wasn’t a super fan of Pauillac).

If you are one of the lucky people that was able to save money over the last year you might consider buying some En Primeur Bordeaux as the campaign is on now. Prices are still being released as I write so not everything is available but O’Briens, Greenacres and Tindal are all taking orders. Harriet Tindal MW posted an interesting chat with Emeline Borie of Château Grand Puy Lacoste in Pauillac on her Instagram account @harriet_tindal where they discuss the 2020 vintage and even take a virtual tour of the vineyard.
