I can't drink most Sauv Blancs as what gives it that characteristic taste also gives me severe reflux but that one is so bland I could probably drink it. The Premier Sauv Blanc is Cloudy Bay - I believe in the ABCB of NZ wines, Anything But Cloudy Bay! There is a very nice Merlot on the Plus list, and it goes exceptionally well with the Princess Love Boat Dream dessert as well as red meats. The Pinot Noir is fairly boring and the other two reds are Cab Sauv blends so I can't drink them - I also react to most Cab Sauvs, headache material for me. The Rosè is very nice. I drink that instead of the whites. The variety of wines is disappointing. They promised 25 wines by the glass for Plus but there are only 9! 🤬 I like Rosè, dry Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Grüner Veltliner (my new fav), lightly oaked Chardonnays and a few of the lesser known Italian whites. For reds it's Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Nebbiolo, Barbera, and some lighter Shirazes. We discovered a very interesting cellar door in Hahndorf last year - Landhaus Wines. They make their wines in the European style rather than classic Australian which really suits my tastes.

There are a whole range of opinions of where chicken tikka masala was invented, the Scottish (Glasgow) just one of those. Some opinions say it was invented by an Indian chef in London in the 1970s and perhaps based on a Punjabi dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
