Summer sipping.

Our fridge is currently out on the deck as the kitchen floor is being varnished. We are considering allowing it to stay there filled with alcoholic beverages some of which might include the following:
i Nicolas Feuillatte champagne - all types and vintages welcome. ( My first choice!)
ii Summer sipping Fransola - a Miguel Torres wine, Sauvignon Blanc and parellada, no cat's piss here, although a hint of gooseberry...
iii Some Tio Pepe - pretty timeless. Sherry is the new sherry apparently. More on this soon, although I have to refer Gonzalez Byass to the accent police. ¿Qué pasa?
My mother always drank Tía María when she was wearing 'Love' by Norman Hartnell. We were generally in The Astley Arms, Seaton Delaval, when the scent made an outing. Neither Norman nor María will be joining us in Kits however...

The following will not be receiving fridge space:
i Chinon - after an EXECRABLE bottle in Paris. (Good cooking wine though, doesn't change colour. Great option for poached pears.)
ii Any Rosé - although I could make an exception for Nicolas Feuillatte or Laurent Perrier
iii Anything from BC.
Cheers.
