Astrolabe, Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zeland, 2007

November 19, 2008. At the City of London, in the good company of Roger Bramble, Silvestro de Besi and Pierluigi Pezone. They've invited me for lunch at the recently opened Loch Fyne restaurant, at Ledenhall Market. Loch Fyne is the name of Scotland's longest sea loch and of a widespread seafood chain. Recommendable, check their website at Loch Fyne.

Roger chose the Astrolabe Voyage, Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zeland, 2007. A good match with fresh oysters. Check their website at Astrolabe.

The Astrolabe Voyage we had is one of those wines their producers think do not deserve a proper cork and seals it instead with a screwcap. What a shame for such a nice wine.
