Melini Borghi d'Elsa Chianti 2009

posted August 05, 2010 in Tim\'s Wine Blog

I've seen this wine a million times in supermarkets, and never tried it. It seems like a supermarket stalwart - kind of just always there. Unspectacular looking, and normally just a pound or two too much to take a gamble on.It is on offer in Waitro (read full article)

Felsner 'Moosburgerin' Gruner Veltliner 2009

posted May 29, 2010 in Tim\'s Wine Blog

I'm kind of losing patience with this variety. It tastes like pears, like a non-fizzy version of Prosecco. I'm not sure why it's so fashionable. Perhaps it can be viewed as neutral - it does resemble a well-made Pinot Grigio (not a bad thing).I h (read full article)
