Wine with Leslie: Lesser-known wines from France and Northern Italy

"Burgundy is the ideal of course, but who can afford them these days, not me. I’ll be looking to Beaujolais, to Baden and the Pfalz for my Pinot Noirs with maybe the odd New Zealander or Chilean."

Lesser-spotted tipples are on the table for Leslie Williams this week.

We are well into autumn now, soon the clocks will be going back so it’s time to prepare for the cooler nights ahead. 

Or so they tell you, personally I’ll be pretending it is still late summer for as long as I can.
