Don't knock Hamilton Russel's Pinot - it's about as close to the "real deal" as South African red gets (well, apart from Kanonkop I guess. Which BA also used to serve a few years ago). It's not made in huge quantity and IMHO it's one of the top10/20 new world pinots...

As well as the normal Tattinger Prelude and Rose, the GF currently has a couple of bottles of the Tattinger Millesime 2006 which is quite nice. I have not been in here for a while - is this normal now or do we think they found a few bottle laying around and put it out?
