My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)

Drink of the Day - Cassis & Perrier

All the beautiful black currant flavours in the Wine of the Week got me on a bit of a kick. Dijon is the capital of the famous wine region, Burgundy, and it's also home to Creme de Cassis. Blend a shot of Cassis with a small (330ml) bottle of ice cold Perrier, and you have a classic, refreshing, and tres French alternative to coolers. It's fruity with just a hint of sweetness. Garnish with mango if you have it, lemon if you don't.

Viva la France! www.boudier.com, www.perrier.com

Cheers!
