Wine of the Week ...

[sunny-dave]

... NoM is up to her eyeballs in work, so I've been called in from the subs bench for one week only.

Sooo - three wines for you to peruse and hopefully quaff :

Firstly from Averys of Bristol (also available via their very good home delivery service) :

A Chateauneuf-du-Pape style red - Pontificis IGP d'Oc 2010 - £7.99

http://www.averys.com...rod30107#.UIhJy--ZOGE

Just about my favourite wine this autumn for drinking with any red meat - great with a Sunday Roast, even better with Steak & Chips. Loads of strong fruity flavours and a good finish. Decant into a jug an hour or so before drinking to let the wine breathe and the flavour develop.

Secondly from my favourite supermarket :

Aldi Cremant du Jura - £6.99

The best value fizz around. Knocks most Cava (and quite a few budget Champagnes) into a cocked hat. Lovely with salads and nibbles - but enough body to be excellent with Roast Chicken too.

Finally from Mr Tesco :

A very decent French Marsanne/Viognier

http://www.tesco.com/...94966870&id=268681709

A bargain at £5 a bottle - crisp, fresh and with plenty of my favourite 'chewy' viognier character. Great with fish - or I like it with a 'cheese and nibbles' type meal.


Happy Drinking

I know what you mean about the chocolateyness of the Yellow Tail range. The Cab Sauv is definitely worth a try. Rich, velvety, chocolatey and subtle hints of vanilla! :)

Mmmmm.... sounds nice, I shall give that one a go!

[NoMercy]

Not sure if you're aware, China, but YT Shiraz is only a fiver in JS at the mo.

I wasn't... cheers! :c)

We've got a bottle of the YT Cab Sauv tonight from the Co-op.

S'nice. :-)
