Hello Sigi (and all on the wineforum list)

I do not have personal experience of Nyetimber sparkling wines, but I do
know that the Queen serves it to visiting heads of state from all around the
world, at state banquets. Enough said, I suppose!

By the way, I don't know how I came to be a "subscriber" to this list, but
it is most interesting. By the way, if anyone reading this in the U.K is a
fan of wines from the Languedoc and Rhone, you may like to visit our site at
www.lsfinewines.co.uk and take a look. Cheap shot, I know, but you
could always join our mailing list, too - we are a relatively new business,
and need as many visitors as we can get - and our wine list will soon grow,
when we add even more great wines!

Regards
Leon Stolarski
