target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Benares<\/a> curries.\u00a0 I also had an interesting chat with Mark Hellyar of <a title=\"Chateau Civrac\" href=\"http:\/\/www.civrac.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chateau Civrac<\/a> on popularising wines from the Bordeaux region, and sampled a couple of\u00a0 their\u00a0 full bodied wines.\u00a0 Chateau Civrac supply wines to several restaurants including <a title=\"Benares\" href=\"http:\/\/www.benaresrestaurant.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Benares<\/a>. I then moved on to the\u00a0next stand <a title=\"Cirotto\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cirottovini.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cantina Cirotto<\/a> to try their rather lovely Prosecco. We also had a short presentation on what makes a good dessert wine from <a title=\"Tastour\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tastour.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tastour<\/a> and enjoyed a nice glass of German Eiswein.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight however had to be the <a title=\"Coutts Private Cellar\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wineshow.co.uk\/coutts-private-cellar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coutts Private Cellar<\/a>, where <a title=\"Tim Atkin\" href=\"http:\/\/www.timatkin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tim Atkin<\/a> gave his presentation and several high end wine merchants provided samples of their wares. My personal favorite was the Cascina Bongiovanni Barola Pernanne 2004 from <a title=\"Colasanti\" href=\"http:\/\/colasanti.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colasanti<\/a> (\u00a371.50 RPR) .
