Top Picks from Vintages' October 1st release
Taittinger Brut Prestige Rosé (Champagne)

I love rosé champagne even if it costs this much. Orange-pink in colour with a minerally, cranberry nose; medium bodied, mouth-filling ripe red berry flavour; finishes with a long, clean, dry red grapefruit note. *****
La Chablisienne Chablis "Fourchaume" 2002 (Burgundy)

Pale straw colour; minerally, apple nose; dry, apple peel and citrus flavours, medium-bodied, well made. ****½
Sebastopol Vineyards Pinot Noir "Dutton Ranch" 2001 (Russian River Valley, Sonoma)

Light tawny ruby; spicy, dried cherry, pomegranate with a touch of oak; medium-bodied, very elegant, well balanced and ready for drinking. ****½
