My 'new favourite thing' on the shelves at the moment is the Myrtil Blueberry Liqueur from expert Italian distillers, Bepi Tosolini. Wild blueberries are left to infuse the alcohol for four months resulting in an incredibly rich, luscious liqueur, bursting with fruit.
Myrtil is delicious with Champagne as a Kir or over ice after dinner. If you prefer a refreshing long drink, just add soda and ice and for sweet treat, pour it over icecream.
To add to the gorgeousness of the drink, the presentation is also fantastic, making it a perfect present. The bottle is very pretty and there are loads of blueberries inside. If you really want to treat someone then a bottle of the liqueur with a bottle of bubbly in a wicker tray looks fab.
I wrote to my MP recently.
“Why did you do that, Chris”
“Call it my sense of duty. Let me put you in the picture.”
You really should have been there………………
There are tastings and then there are tastings and last month we served up the most phenomenal Italian Masterclass in the company of Michael Palij, Master of Wine, who steered us through some of his most recent discoveries (notably a Sardinian quartet which provided all the evidence you need of the revolution taking place in the island’s vineyards and cellars).
