I wouldn't say this is my favourite Australian Riesling, but I think it expresses enough Riesling character and the price is reasonable enough to warrant some attention.It's interesting to see what others thought of this wine. One customer on Majest (read full article)
Tonight a Clare Valley Riesling was in order. I'm rarely disappointed by these, and this was no exception. My only regret is I haven't tried this wine after a few years in the cellar.I prefer my Riesling with some bottle age, to enjoy those seconda (read full article)
Watershed moment. Good, cheap Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. I'll spare you the cliché tasting notes - we all know what this tastes like. The point is, it costs less than £7 and it isn't grim. In fact, it's good.Perhaps its origin is a clue. It's fro (read full article)
This is the third different rosé wine I purchased from Majestic on the weekend, and the one that I suspected would be the best. Actually, as I was putting the bottles into my cart, a member of staff mentioned to a watching customer that this was pro (read full article)
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)
Is it just me, or has the rosé wine bubble burst? Every year we hear that consumption increases by X%, and that it is more popular than ever. If that is the case, then why does my local Sainsbury's currently have the worst selection of rosé ever? (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 bought this wine last year at the beginning of the summer. I'm not a big Rioja drinker but it was a good price (£7.99 from £12.99) and has some good bottle age.I opened one last summer, and it was a big mistake. It was far too warm (both the wi (read full article)
I ordered a couple of bottle of this (among others) a couple of weeks ago from Majestic, and it looks like it's already sold out, or it's sold out enough to not be offered nationally.2007 was a good vintage for the Rhone. Actually I can say from my (read full article)
This is Chateau de Pitray's 'Grand Vin', and has been a mainstay at Majestic for some time. It's a reliable, fruity right-bank claret from the Cotes de Castillon appellation.I made sure I got some of this when it appeared on offer (£1 off, I'm such (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)
I have to admit that Burgundy reds are somewhat of a gaping hole in my wine experience... please don't shoot me. Perhaps its that I just got too hooked on Bordeaux wines and neglected this region. Anyway, I approached this wine with an open and unbia (read full article)
Background context info here.After trying Viognier only a handful of times of the last couple of years, I've decided that it's a "take it or leave it" type of wine for me. I can appreciate it, but it probably won't be my first choice on the wine lis (read full article)
Oz Clarke has been tweeting about Alain Grignon recently. He likes him. I like Oz Clarke, so I usually try the wines he recommends.Alain Grignon does a Viognier and a Cabernet Franc that are both available at Majestic. I bought both to try this we (read full article)
This was purchased at the same time and for the same reason as this was, the only difference being this wine had a Decanter World Wine Awards sliver medal sticker on it instead of a gold.Hints of dried chilli pepper on the nose and palate, along with (read full article)
We're down in Devon at the moment visiting my brother-in-law's family. We are all wine lovers, and it's turning into a ritual to visit the local Majestic whenever we get together. I had a few ideas in mind as to what to buy this time, but some othe (read full article)
Outside of Champagne, my two favourite regions for sparkling wine are Burgundy (Crémant de Bourgogne) and Tasmania. You can usually get pretty good bottles from these regions for about £8 - £12. So, a Tasmanian sparkler for £4.99? It must be c (read full article)
This is good stuff. I haven't tried too many rosés from Rioja, but I'm willing to bet they are just as good value as the reds, if this is any indication.I guess the regular price of £7.99 would be expensive for a rosé, but this is Majestic, and t (read full article)
I've tried, and enjoyed, the 2005 vintage of this wine. The 2006 vintage has left a mostly negative impression on me. I found it thin and watery, and just generally short on character.Perhaps I've been drinking too much Aussie red lately, and am ju (read full article)
