2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,773
Speaker 1: from News Talks at.

3
00:00:11,653 --> 00:00:16,533
Speaker 2: B seventeen to eleven rather on Newstalks v in. Bob Campbell,

4
00:00:16,533 --> 00:00:19,173
Speaker 2: our master of Wine, has chosen his best buy for

5
00:00:19,293 --> 00:00:22,053
Speaker 2: us this week and it is his best buy for

6
00:00:22,173 --> 00:00:25,773
Speaker 2: the silly season for Christmas, and so naturally he's chosen

7
00:00:25,813 --> 00:00:28,893
Speaker 2: abubbly for us this morning. It is the number one

8
00:00:28,973 --> 00:00:32,973
Speaker 2: family couve assemblage Cove Marlborough Method Traditional for thirty six

9
00:00:33,053 --> 00:00:36,853
Speaker 2: dollars cal Bob, good morning, Good morning Jack. So why

10
00:00:36,853 --> 00:00:37,573
Speaker 2: did you go for this?

11
00:00:38,773 --> 00:00:43,133
Speaker 3: Well, it's it's a special wine to celebrate Christmas, a

12
00:00:43,133 --> 00:00:46,013
Speaker 3: special time of the year, of course, and French winemaker

13
00:00:46,173 --> 00:00:50,133
Speaker 3: Daniel Lebrun and his family pioneered method wine making in

14
00:00:50,293 --> 00:00:54,453
Speaker 3: Marlborough and they've they've made some of New Zealand's very,

15
00:00:54,533 --> 00:00:59,173
Speaker 3: very best cment of sparkling wines. Always always the Kiwi wines,

16
00:00:59,253 --> 00:01:02,173
Speaker 3: essentially Kiwi wines, but they always to me have a

17
00:01:02,293 --> 00:01:07,213
Speaker 3: French slight French accent. Anyway, it's a blend of three

18
00:01:07,253 --> 00:01:10,853
Speaker 3: great varieties, Pino nois, chardonnay and pino mune, which is

19
00:01:10,933 --> 00:01:13,653
Speaker 3: unusual in New Zealand, but they're all permitted in the

20
00:01:13,773 --> 00:01:17,973
Speaker 3: Champagne region of France. It's been Cellard for three to

21
00:01:18,053 --> 00:01:19,773
Speaker 3: five years, so it's got a little bit of a

22
00:01:19,773 --> 00:01:24,093
Speaker 3: little bit of bottle age there. And this is truly

23
00:01:24,133 --> 00:01:28,893
Speaker 3: a stylish sparkler that offers really great value at the price.

24
00:01:31,053 --> 00:01:33,853
Speaker 3: Why is it the perfect Christmas wine? Because everybody loves

25
00:01:33,893 --> 00:01:37,573
Speaker 3: it and if it survives Christmas, you can always enjoy

26
00:01:37,613 --> 00:01:39,293
Speaker 3: it in New Year's Eve. Very good.

27
00:01:39,453 --> 00:01:40,413
Speaker 2: So what does it taste like?

28
00:01:41,653 --> 00:01:44,693
Speaker 3: Well, it tastes to me, it tastes like champagne. It's

29
00:01:44,693 --> 00:01:48,453
Speaker 3: probably heresy to say that, but it's got citrus. You know,

30
00:01:48,493 --> 00:01:52,733
Speaker 3: I'll have them hunting me down, but it was citrus,

31
00:01:52,773 --> 00:01:56,213
Speaker 3: apple and freshly baked baget crust. You know, it's got

32
00:01:56,213 --> 00:02:02,573
Speaker 3: a seductively creamy texture that that lovely baget crust flavors

33
00:02:02,933 --> 00:02:03,933
Speaker 3: really makes it.

34
00:02:03,933 --> 00:02:06,333
Speaker 2: It's very very Frenchy, as you say. So, thirty six

35
00:02:06,533 --> 00:02:08,933
Speaker 2: dollars for a bottle of the Number one Family Cove.

36
00:02:09,413 --> 00:02:10,653
Speaker 2: You think that's good venue?

37
00:02:11,333 --> 00:02:15,533
Speaker 3: Yes I do. Yeah, it's the number one Family's least

38
00:02:15,573 --> 00:02:20,413
Speaker 3: expensive wine. But to me it's it's you know, it's

39
00:02:20,453 --> 00:02:22,973
Speaker 3: one of my favorites. It's one third the price of

40
00:02:23,053 --> 00:02:26,293
Speaker 3: good champagne, but it's certainly not one third the quality.

41
00:02:26,573 --> 00:02:28,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice, we can you pick it up?

42
00:02:29,333 --> 00:02:32,093
Speaker 3: I founded that whiskey and more in the way Kenno

43
00:02:32,253 --> 00:02:35,773
Speaker 3: for thirty four ninety nine a little bit below average,

44
00:02:35,893 --> 00:02:40,293
Speaker 3: and the Hamilton Beer and Wine Company also thirty five

45
00:02:40,413 --> 00:02:41,733
Speaker 3: or thirty five ninety.

46
00:02:41,533 --> 00:02:44,693
Speaker 2: Nine aside from a Christmas turkey? What would you match

47
00:02:44,733 --> 00:02:45,653
Speaker 2: it with, do you think, Bob?

48
00:02:46,493 --> 00:02:50,533
Speaker 3: Well, the classic is freshly shucked oysters. I love oysters,

49
00:02:50,573 --> 00:02:53,893
Speaker 3: so and there there are a perfect match. But it's

50
00:02:53,893 --> 00:02:59,173
Speaker 3: a fairly forgiving food wine. It would go with most seafoods.

51
00:02:58,733 --> 00:03:05,573
Speaker 3: And you know it's just it can be enjoyed without

52
00:03:05,613 --> 00:03:07,293
Speaker 3: the complication food too.

53
00:03:07,253 --> 00:03:09,173
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, yeah, well it keep?

54
00:03:09,213 --> 00:03:13,773
Speaker 3: Do you think a few years of stored Well, I

55
00:03:14,493 --> 00:03:21,693
Speaker 3: quite like aged method. Don't get to if you are

56
00:03:21,773 --> 00:03:24,773
Speaker 3: going to keep it for later, don't forget to write

57
00:03:24,773 --> 00:03:26,773
Speaker 3: the page of purchase on the bottle because it is

58
00:03:26,813 --> 00:03:29,893
Speaker 3: a non vintage wine, so you you know, down the

59
00:03:29,933 --> 00:03:33,413
Speaker 3: track you may not remember when you bought it.

60
00:03:34,013 --> 00:03:37,693
Speaker 2: How it is, yes, and if you end up putting

61
00:03:37,693 --> 00:03:40,973
Speaker 2: another bottle in the salar again next year, you might

62
00:03:41,293 --> 00:03:43,693
Speaker 2: find yourself getting a little bit confused over time. That's

63
00:03:43,733 --> 00:03:46,213
Speaker 2: a very very good tip. Hey, thank you so much, Bob.

64
00:03:46,333 --> 00:03:49,373
