PUDDING WINES
We have a small selection of very fine pudding wines on the list, and
a number are in half bottles which are enough for a small glass for
three or four people. We have followed Château la Chartreuse for
many years and it has been consistently good, and the 1998 vintage
is now delicious. The Maury (red port style) is probably the rarest
wine on this list.
