It's been a while ... which doesn't mean I've been on the wagon ... oh no ... not at all. I've been working selflessly to find new wines for you lot :+)

I've found a new mail order supplier - ordered a couple of mixed cases and these are the highlights :


Dacastello Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2011

Extraordinary value at £4.99 - I've taken the precaution of ordering a case before alerting the AB oenophiles.

Soft, fruity - great with pasta or olives & cheese & nibbles.

Tenuta Olim Bauda Barbera d'Asti 'La Villa'

I came across this in a posh restaurant and thought it decent value at £25. Here it's just over a tenner - astonishing value for one of the best Italian reds I've had in ages. Full bodied (but not tannic) and loads of exotic fruity flavours. Great with strongly flavoured meat dishes - or perhaps with pizza.

Golden Grape Prosecco

Soft, gentle Italian fizz - just 'off dry' - at £6.99 what's not to like? Lovely as an aperitif or with sticky puddings or to wash the cheese course down. Bargain.

I'm on the wagon at home for the moment to cut down on the weight.

I have had a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2011, not the one you recommend and I can't remember which vineyard it was, however at those prices, it's a knock down. The Barbera sounds good too....
Hi, Dave.....just spotted this......your last recommendation to me was delicious......so I think it's time to stock up on some of the above....

thanks....Gx

... but I still say that keeping him in the shed is cruel at this time of year :)
