UK-based wine blog that focuses mainly on wines available in supermarkets and other popular merchants.
If you read my rant yesterday about the available of good rosé, you would have noticed that I bought a few wines at my local Majestic. This interesting example was one of them.I had picked out 6 wines at this point, four from Spain and two from Fra (read full article)
Not much to say on this one, besides that it's yet another good value wine from Waitrose. At 25% off, you get a Syrah with good fruit and structure for under £8. I'm getting into Syrah lately, with good examples from Chile getting my attention as (read full article)
I'm always on the lookout for good Riesling, and this has been recommended by various columnists.It's quite good - very clean and crisp and citrusy. I would say it's lacking complexity - no petrol notes or loads of mouthfeel, but it's a young wine a (read full article)
I've been a fan of New Zealand Riesling ever since discovering Spy Valley, especially the 2007. I haven't been able to replicate that experience however, even with subsequent vintages of Spy Valley, or any other Kiwi Riesling.This isn't really any e (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)
I'm trying some supermarket Sauvignon Blanc lately. I've missed it to be honest, after avoiding it for a good year or so. I like the versatility and zestiness of it - it makes a great aperitif, and is a good match for salady/veggy type food.I know (read full article)
I felt a like a Sauvignon Blanc last night to go with my chef's salad. It's been ages since I've had one, and I was looking for something that would be cheap but good. Montana is pretty reliable, and this one is 33% off at Sainsbury's.This is also (read full article)
This Merlot comes from the Gimblett Gravels appellation in Hawkes Bay, on New Zealand's north island. Gimblett Gravels is interesting as it possesses a unique terroir that is ideal for producing Bordeaux varieties.It tastes like a serious wine indee (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)
I bought two bottles of this on a recent trip to Devon. One we drank down there, and the other I brought back to London with me. The one we drank there didn't make much of an impression on me - it didn't go well with the food we were having and I j (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 is a wine I wouldn't normally drink, which is the whole point. What I mean is, a friend of mine offered to do a "wine swap" - that is trade something of his that I wouldn't normally try, for something he wouldn't normally try.My experiences wit (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)
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)
I'm gradually becoming a Riesling addict. It's tasty, refreshing, versatile and affordable. It comes in loads of different styles, from dry to off-dry to sweet, from lighter styles such as German Kabinett to fuller, riper styles such as Spatlese an (read full article)
