Wines of the week

Every Friday (doesn't your week begin on Friday?!) we select particularly unmissable wines, whether because they are new and different, or a notable bargain, or something simply too stunning to keep to ourselves. We try to make our choices as international as possible although sometimes the wines will be available exclusively in the UK or the US, or occasionally somewhere else. If in doubt about your local stockists, check out the admirable www.winesearcher.com
