Selborne Wine Society 2012

On Tuesday Ricco had the pleasure of hosting yet another excellent wine tasting with the wonderful people of Selborne Wine Society. 

To accompany our 8 fine Italian wines, a team from the society cooked up a very fine selection of antipasti.

Wines tasted on the evening were; 'Nerodise' Rosato Spumante, 'Salapia' Bombino Bianco, 'Versure' Fiano, 'Le Fossette' Falanghina, 'Secondopasso' Nero di Troia, 'Capoposto' Negroamaro, 'Terraferma' Rosso Primitivo/Nero di Troia and Albana Di Romagna Passito - a fantastic white dessert wine.

The winners of the evening? 

- Best value for money: 'Secondopasso' Nero di Troia.

An excellent medium-bodied red for everyday drinking. My favourite at the moment!

- If money were no option: 'Terraferma' Rosso 

Drinking now, will age. Very well made with elegant fruit on the nose and palate. A lot of wine for £14.95!

Both of these wines would make perfect choices for Christmas.

So yet another victory for Mr Angelo Paradiso at Cantine Podere Belmantello. Keep up the good work! 

Also great results again for Alberto Longo, with his 'Le Fossette' being the most popular white of the evening, great remarks also for his 'Capoposto'.

Always a pleasure to visit Selborne Wine Society; a very active, friendly group with a great mix of people. Why not join them for a meeting? See their website for details.

Thanks again to everyone that made it such a good evening, hope to see you again soon!

NEW DELI IN SELBORNE

Talking of the Queen, you may be aware of the Queens Pub and Restaurant at Selborne; we certainly are and are pleased to announce the opening of their new delicatessen.

Erick and mum at the Queens Deli

They have an excellent range of fresh bread, fruit and veg, meats, cheeses and most things you would expect to find in a good delicatessen. From personal experience, their Scotch Eggs are simply delicious!

You will soon be able to experience a fantastic range of Ricco's wines in both the deli and restaurant.

We are lucky to have such a shop in the local area, so get along and have a look - it is well worth the effort and Nick and Erick's venture deserves to be a success. This truly is another little nugget for anyone interested in quality food and wine and the Queens pub has ample private parking for the deli.

Very well done Nick and Erick!
