Staff Pick Notes

If ever you were in doubt about the potential of southeast England to produce sparklers to rival Champagne, look no further than this bottle from Gusbourne. The estate was founded in 2004 by a South African orthopedic surgeon, Andrew Weeber, who saw the potential in the low lying hills just 6 miles from the coast.
