People put a lot of emphasis on what will accompany the turkey but it’s equally important to consider which wines will act as the aperitif and also how to end the meal. In this Christmas Sipping Series episode join Oz Clarke and Susy Atkins as they suggest three festive bottles to top and tail Christmas lunch.
‘The beginning and the end of the meal are the moments really worth thinking about as this is when the wines can really shine.’ – Susy Atkins
