CHAMBORD 5cl Miniature
Chambord, France's Liqueur Royale, is a magnificent liqueur made with the world's finest black and red raspberries combined with delicious honey and Madagascan vanilla. Its rich but delicate taste makes it an essential part of any cocktail list. Chambord was inspired by a luxurious black raspberry liqueur produced for Louis XIV during one of his visits to Chateau Chambord. The Royal Chateau at Chambord is one of the most recognisable chateaux in the world because of its very distinct French Renaissance architecture that blends traditional medieval forms with classical Italian structures. Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur represents an era of luxury and indulgence sparked by Louis XIV and his descendants and the brand's orb shaped bottle is inspired by the centuries old symbol of the French monarchy. Chambord is created using all natural ingredients. The finest black and red raspberries are blended, before being steeped in Cognac to achieve a highly concentrated base. The mixture is then extracted and a second infusion captures the remaining flavours from the berries. The final step is in the hands of the Maitre Liquoriste, who marries the berry infusion with Cognac and extracts of Madagascan vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey and hints of fragrant herbs. The result is an unprecedented level of all-natural complexities, flavour and aroma.

Pinot Grigio 'Bacaro' 2010, IGT Pavia
Pinot Grigio is synonymous with Italy and represents a large proportion of all Italian wines on shelves, but it is not a native variety. Originally grown in Burgundy, the vine travelled all over Europe, settling down in many areas, but Italy is now its spiritual home. The pale hue of the wine gives way to hints of perfume, pears, stone fruit and lime, as well as the occasional floral note. Fresh and vibrant acidity results in a light, easy drinking wine. The quintessential apéritif to be enjoyed in the sun (or to bring respite from winter's gloom) or partner light fish and chicken dishes.

Serena Pinot Grigio 2010/2011, Banfi
From one of Italy's greatest producers comes this Pinot Grigio, grown in the hills around Montalcino, and made in the unmistakabe delicate Italian style. Using only free-run juice means minimal skin contact for delicate colour and lightness of body. The warm Tuscan climate gives the delicate Pinot Grigio grape the ripeness and softness that really brings out the pear, melon and banana aromas, and softens the acidity on the palate. A lively yet easy-going wine, which can be enjoyed on its own, or with white fish or light poultry dishes.
