UK-based wine blog that focuses mainly on wines available in supermarkets and other popular merchants.
I was sent this wine in the post from Burgundy Wines (I think), as a result of not being able to honour an invitation to the 24th Annual Chablis Contest in London. In a remarkable coincidence, it happened to be the wine of a producer that I had rece (read full article)
This is the last of my wines from the uh, budget-priced Dona Paulina range from the Wine Society. So far I haven't really enjoyed any of them, and this is no exception.The problem with these cheaper wines is they don't have varietal character. This (read full article)
This wine has me interested in Chablis again. I tasted it at a tasting party we had with some friends, and one of the group had brought it back from France. The people who brought it kindly offered to buy some more if anyone was interested, so I to (read full article)
Sainsbury's has come up with the deal of the year. This wine normally goes for about £25, and it's on for half-price. That's not inflated either - this is proper wine.Everything adds up here, almost. Louis Jadot is a good name. 2007 was a good vi (read full article)
I took advantage of Majestic's new policy of allowing a minimum 6 bottle in-store purchase the other day. They currently have a sale on New Zealand wines so I picked up a few whites.This Chardonnay was one of them. In general New Zealand whites are (read full article)
The Piccadilly Valley is located in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia. Petaluma was started in 1976, and the grapes for this Chardonnay come from 7 different vineyards nearing 30 years of age.When I drink a Chardonnay, this is what I wan (read full article)
This wine impressed me at a New Zealand Wine Society tasting a couple of years ago (not sure what the vintage was though). It stood out among a sea of Sauvignon Blanc, and I finally got around to buying some.It's a fairly tropical expression of Char (read full article)
This was supposed to be a bit of a splash-out wine for me. At £12.99 it's not something I would normally buy, except for a special occasion. Embarrassingly, when I was looking at this wine in the shop I didn't know where in Burgundy the appellatio (read full article)
Here's another bin-end from El Vino. This time it's a 10 year old Chardonnay from Australia.El Vino is currently selling the 2001 vintage of this wine for £13.50, which means the 1999 here has been relegated to the bargain bin. If the 2001 is wort (read full article)
Like Tim in his recent review of a Chardonnay, I enjoy this grape when it is aged in oak. Also like that wine, this version from the Saintsbury winery in California is aged and fermented in oak, completes malolactic and is aged on the lees. This win (read full article)
I've been trying a lot of different Chardonnays recently. I'm sort of getting into them, and trying to work out my favourite style. I lean towards the oaky, buttery style. I think that Chardonnay definitely benefits from the oak treatment - it's f (read full article)
I frequently find that I need a Chardonnay, and I don't have any. It's not something I usually stock up on, and I really have no excuse not to do so. Some food just requires it - anything with a cream sauce, risotto, chicken, pasta carbonara, etc. (read full article)
You know, English wine is really not too bad. I'm a big believer in buying local, and would have no problem drinking English white and sparkling wines more often. Except for the price.This goes for £13.50 on Denbies online shop, and it's just not (read full article)
I was in The Grape Shop today, and I asked the proprietor for a good Chardonnay. I took the cheapest one he recommended because I was looking for an everyday-type wine, and it was this Chilean Chardonnay from the Casablanca Valley.I'm found this win (read full article)
I needed a Chardonnay for Spaghetti Carbonara so I just decided to try this, a generic white Burgundy that was 25% off at Waitrose.A pretty decent wine, although I wasn't bowled over by its character. A bit of white stone fruit with good acidity, it (read full article)
I bought this from Sainsbury's at the same time I bought this. I had wanted to try it for a while now, but just never got around to it. As usual, the offer price drew me to it (£5.99 down from £8.99). This is a decent wine. It has good acidity (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)
Went to Bedales in Spitalfields for lunch today. There were 3 of us, and the idea was to get a nice bottle of wine and some food. The wine on the restaurant wine list wasn't very interesting (at first glance anyways), and there was also the ability (read full article)
