Dear Mr Smith
We have something new for you this week, with our first-ever offer from Naked Wines, the online retailer that’s been much in the (wine) news thanks to the proposed rebranding of Majestic. As for the wines themselves, here's a selection from three of Naked Wines' best-known winemakers. You can read my latest reviews of the whole lot online.

2018 Stefano di Blasi Bianco Trevenezie
£21.50
A Garganega-based blend from near Lake Garda in north-east Italy. Fresh, clean and unassuming, it’s ideal summer aperitif fare and as easy-going as its price.
2016 Stefano di Blasi Chianti Classico
£16.25
A Sangiovese-led blend that’s full of juicy, ripe and sour red-and-black cherries, a touch of spice and a succulent finish.
2016 Richard’s ‘The Cutler’ Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon
£23.55
An equal blend of both varieties with grassy, zesty notes of the sauvignon blanc, and creamy, lemony notes of the semillon.
