UK-based wine blog that focuses mainly on wines available in supermarkets and other popular merchants.
I don't get Paul Mas. His wines have been the subject of praise from wine writers over the last couple of years. In fact, my very first blog post was a Paul Mas wine. I didn't like it, and I don't really like this one either.My brother in law desc (read full article)
This wine is from the Fruili-Venezia Giulia region of North-East Italy, and made with the Friulano or Sauvignon Vert grape.The wine is medium to full-bodied, with a slight oily texture, and it's noticeably high in alcohol too (14%). Despite that, it (read full article)
I was placing an order with Bibendum, and I decided to add a case of this on at the last moment. I really like Pinot Gris, and I've never had one from Chile before. This particular one also got a couple of favourable mentions from wine writers that (read full article)
The price of this has crept up significantly since the 2005 vintage, but it is still worth every penny.2007 was an exceptional vintage for Alsace, and I needed an impressive white to display the merits of white wine to a visting red-loving friend of (read full article)
I've said previously that I've never had a Peter Lehmann wine I didn't like. Well, so much for that.No big deal though - this is the Barossa Valley, and it is hardly known for its whites. If I wanted good Chenin Blanc, I'd go to the Loire Valley. T (read full article)
I had forgotten where I bought this, but I'm pretty sure it was Sainsbury's. I have also forgotten the price, but I think it was somewhere between £4 and £5. According to mysupermarket.co.uk, the regular price is £6.49.I find the wine a bit ho-h (read full article)
This is an affordable, medium-dry white made in the Loire Valley in France from Chenin Blanc grapes.I wouldn't say it has massive amounts of character, but its tingling acidity and residual sugar make it a fine food wine. It kind of reminds me of an (read full article)
This is a pretty decent Cotes du Rhone from Louis Bernard. It is from their Chartreuse de Bonpase range, which I think is supposed to be a bit more high-end than their generic appellation wines.It has a good red-fruit nose and a nice chalky, mineral (read full article)
Here is another claret bottled for Tesco by the negociant Yvon Mau. Whenever you see a half price claret at Tesco, chances are it's a product of Yvon Mau.The wines are usually decent, if unspectacular. This is regularly around £15 from Tesco, but (read full article)
This is currently one of my favourite wines. I love the off-dry Riesling style, and this is a great example at a fantastic price. I got this from Bibendum during their 2009 summer sale for £6.60 a bottle. The wonderfully low price was somewhat te (read full article)
This wine is from the Marche region of Italy. From what I can gather, this region seems to be associated more with white wines than reds. I found it at a Wine Society tasting, and I felt it was probably the best value wine there. It's a blend of 5 (read full article)
I don't drink a lot of red wine these days, it being summer and all. But I made an exception tonight because we were having steak (and not just any steak, but Marks and Spencer's 21 day aged peppered rump steak). My views on steak are similar to my (read full article)
I've been seeing a lot of McGuigan recently. They are a brand that seems to have been increasing in visibility for the last few months (maybe years?) in the places that I shop. They have their own range of wines, and they produce some own-label stu (read full article)
According to the wine press, this Austrian grape is taking the world by storm. It's hip, it's cool, and everybody who's somebody is either drinking it or serving it in their restaurant.I tried this effort by Sainsbury's last year, and to be honest i (read full article)
Gold medal winning (IWC) winning rosé. Cheap. What's there not to like?Well, a couple of things. I'm kind of going off these medium-to-full-bodied rosés for one thing. What's the point? If I wanted a red, I'd ask for a red. I'm not really sur (read full article)
I made a brief mention of this wine previously while discussing its cool-fermented stablemate. It probably would be less confusing if I didn't mention the cool-fermented one, but it's easy to mistake one for the other so let's make the distinction n (read full article)
