I have an appointment with a Monsieur Merlot later
Ah... my good friend M. Merlot...
I am currently renewing an acquaintance with Madame Ofthalmo... a 'rich burgandy colour, with unique aroma of herbs'... from the Nelion winery in Pretori village... Went there last week for a look around and picked up a case... lovely.
Unusually for Cyprus wines it is cold bottled and contains no preservatives. Normal stuff here is hot bottled (in effect sterilised) and contains Sulphates to preserve it and allow you to leave it in your car all day in the sunshine yet remain relatively 'drinkable' if you need a slurp on the way home...
