Wynn's Coonawarra Riesling 1998 (Vintry Rathgar, Redmonds Ranelagh, McCabes Blackrock, Sweeneys Dorset St & Fairview, Deveneys SCR, Noble Rot Navan, Fahys Ballina, Vineyard Galway, Kellys-Next Door Longford, O'Donovans Cork and other outlets, usually £7.99). A great favourite of Hazel Murphy's - and mine too - with exhilarating lime freshness. Proof that, although the best Rieslings tend to come from the Clare and Eden Valleys, they don't have to!
Hope Estate Verdelho, Hunter Valley, 1998 (Mitchells Kildare St & Glasthule, £8.95). This lovely, lemony white - a Bottle of the Week last summer - is a reminder of Australia's readiness to experiment with interesting grapes. Verdelho, the grape of Madeira, seems to suit the Hunter Valley almost as well as Semillon. This one's a tangy treat.
