           <description><![CDATA[
  TO match my ever growing sweet tooth and love of puddings I couldn't resist a rich velvety dessert wine – so plumped for Elysium Black Muscat, produced by the award-winning Quady winery, which specialises solely in desert wine that includes this rare black skinned Muscat.

  A splendid offering this week from middle Italy is Booths’ own 2009 Chianti Reserva (Tuscany). With big hitting, bold, flowery aromas and classic fruity flavours of orange and blueberry, it's a great match for any classic Italian food.

  This week I bring two fantastic beers to the table, as I feel I have been concentrating too much on the grape. They are the Rudgate York Chocolate Stout and Inner and Gunn Rum Finish Amber Beer – both big and bold and guaranteed to warm you up on a cold night.

           <description><![CDATA[
  I HAVE a great find for you this week from the Utile Requena area of North East Spain - near the port of Valencia – called the Pasion de Bobal 2010. The Bobal variety is indigenous to this part of Spain and is a deep, dark-skinned grape which has a similar depth to Monestrall (Mouvedre), but is slightly lower in alcohol.
