First up is Vernaccia; an elegant and fresh Italian white from Tuscany, followed by Oregon Chardonnay. The reds follow on from here; Pinot Noir from Burgundy, full of earthy red fruit, then a punchier Ribera del Duero, with more body and tannin. To finish off, a sweet wine that is the perfect partner for a cheese board or dessert… or both!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHure Freres, Invitation Brut, NV, Champagne, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Champagne delivers incredible nuance and complexity.
