I see that Bordeaux Superieur is back, at £2:99 instead of £4:99. Good value for money, although its a trifle on the dry side for me.

might give that a shot, got my triathlon thing tomorrow, need to treat myself after (during...)

[mikey4444]

McF....be early, as these wines are never very plentiful....a couple of pallets sometimes.

[Tilly2]

Good luck for tomorrow, MccFluff. I hope it doesn't rain on you.

[mccfluff]

oh... lidl opens at 8, i should be cycling by then!

[NoMercy]

Bordeaux is not my thing.

Their Amarone on the other hand...

[Buenchico]

I've only got one bottle of their (ordinary) Bordeaux left from a previous weekend deal, so I might get tempted into buying a case of the 'Superieur' tomorrow morning ;-)

[mikey4444]

I wish I had bought more of that Cotes du Rhone, at the same price, as I had the last glass last night.

I am having some home-cooked pasta tonight, so had to buy a bottle of Merlot in the Co-op this morning.

[Tilly2]

No you didn't have to Mikey. You could have eaten the pasta without drinking wine.

Mind you, I'd have done the same! :-)

[mikey4444]

A bowl of my super home-cooked pasta sauce, with meatballs, without a glassette of red ?

Unthinkable !

[Tilly2]

I know. ;-)

[mikey4444]

Actually I add a very generous glass of red wine to the sauce, mixed in with the red pesto, and dash of Balsamic Vinegar !

[Tilly2]

Sounds lovely, Mikey. Do you cook the meatballs in the sauce, or do you cook them separately? I have never had/cooked meatballs.

[mikey4444]

Tilly....to be honest I use the ones that the Co-op sell....those ones that are like the ones you get in IKEA.

I also slice a Peperami very thinly, and fry that with the onions and red pepper !

[Tilly2]

Thank you, Mikey. Enjoy your dinner. :-)

Aldi has wool next week!.... :-)

[mikey4444]

On a serious note, does ALDI do a "superweekend" with these kind of bargains ?

Because we have about 5 Lidls and only 1 ALDI, near me, I hardly ever shop there, so I am really not sure what they are like.

I don't think they ave those in-store bakeries, like LIDL.

Thanks for that, gness. Eldest grandsproglet has a birthday end Sept. and one of the presents I bought her is a kit for making pom-poms, so I'm on the hunt for wooll. Brill! :)

[Smowball]

I'm not sure Mikey - they do special offers but don't think it's a weekend thing

[gness]

They have Specialbuy days on Sunday and Thursday, Mikey.....well worth looking at online....

The bakery in Lidl is really good......by far the best....x

This reminds me of the time i posted on here that i only like sweet wines - not medium or dry .

I was called a philistine - i haven't recovered :-)
