  2. Cabernet Sauvignon
    Where it comes from: The Manchester United of grapes, it's the world's most famous red grape variety, responsible for many of the planet's most well known wines. The traditional home of Cabernet Sauvignon is the Bordeaux region of France, and recent research has shown that its parents are Cabernet Franc and (rather surprisingly) Sauvignon Blanc. Its thick skins and high pip-to-pulp ratio help it to make deeply coloured, tannic and often long-lived wines. Flavour profile: Think Cabernet Sauvignon, think blackcurrants. You may also pick up flavours of green peppers, cedar, mint, menthol, chocolate, herbs and chewy tannins, depending on how the wine was made and where it came from. Where to find it: A great traveller, Cabernet Sauvignon can make full flavoured red wines just about anywhere grapes can be grown. As a result, it has been enthusiastically planted throughout the wine world. Outside Bordeaux, it is planted widely in other French regions, notably in Bergerac, the Languedoc and Provence. In California it is the dominant red grape, often excelling to make superb but stratospherically priced wines in Napa and Sonoma. In Italy, it does particularly well in Tuscany as a key component of the highly sought-after 'supertuscan' wines. Cabernet Sauvignon vies with Shiraz as Australia's most successful red variety. Chile has many thousands of hectares of ungrafted Cabernet Sauvignon, where it produces wines with pure, exuberant blackcurrant fruit. Argentina, South Africa, Eastern Europe and the CIS also rely on Cabernet to produce some of their best wines.

21 November 2009

This day in history:
On 21st November 1974 the Provisional IRA plants bombs in two Birmingham pubs: the Mulberry Bush and the Tavern in the Town. Twenty-one people die and 182 are injured. A few minutes before the explosions a warning had been telephoned to the local newspaper, the Birmingham Post and Mail, but it was far too late. The first Birmingham bomb, at the Mulberry Bush pub in the basement of the Rotunda, a 20-storey office and retail complex and it exploded six minutes after the telephone warning. There was not enough time for police to clear the area. Earlier that year nine soldiers were killed when a bomb exploded on a coach on the M62 near Bradford, while two bombs in Guildford killed four soldiers and injured scores of other people. read more
