A good investment for the future at $95, or to enjoy with close family or friends over the Christmas turkey.<\/p>\n<p>ONE FOR LUNCH: IF you are already starting the shopping list for the Festive Season, jot down Logan&#8217;s Weemala Brut NV in the bubbly column.<\/p>\n<p>This celebration drink has fragrant pear, crisp apple and citrus flavours from it&#8217;s predominantly Chardonnay component, and there&#8217;s a smaller amount of Pinot. Pay $22 and bring it out with an antipasto platter of white anchovies, olives, artichokes, salami, pecorino and goat cheese \u2013 or a summery seafood salad.<\/p>\n<p>(NEED A FOOD\/DRINK IDEA?
