Summer sparkles with Cipriano Prosecco Posted by Andrew Chapman in New Products, 5:51pm 22/05/2009. Summer came to Surf4Wine this afternoon in the shape of our tasty new Cipriano Prosecco - part of a revamped Italian selection we will be unveiling over the next few weeks.
Tasting this lightly sparkling Frizzante chilled white on a warm Spring afternoon in the Overton outpost of Caviste it made me want to reach for my sun-glasses and head off to find some shade and finish the bottle - alas there was work to be done - and more wines to be tasted to prepare for the launch of our new list. Barely had Rick and Roz (long-standing Caviste acolytes soon to feature on these pages) finished filling the shelves than bottles were whizzing off them again into the hands of locals ready to be enjoyed over the coming long Bank Holiday. As for me, well I'm about to turn off my PC, hit the A34 back to Oxfordshire and prepare for a Saturday morning of tasting English wines (jn preparation for English wine week) with an intrepid group of food and wine bloggers that Andrew Barrow over at Spittoon has assembled. There is a trip around Brightwell Vineyard, and then lunch and more English wines to look forward to. Then home and prepare for eldest Booker-Chapman to celebrate her 18th birthday. First up, a Bar-B-Q for her friends where Mrs C and I are required to leave the house and leave them to party (I think it will be night at the Cinema with Tom Hanks playing the hero in Angels and Demons for us - with a worried Andrew wondering how soon we can come back and check they haven't drunk my malt whisky...), followed by a family lunch on Sunday for which I still have to decided on menu and wine - and keep fingers crossed for fine weather so we can eat outside! ^ Back to top
