Wines For Autumn

A few recommendations from the wine rack at Chateau Sunny Dave :
Yapp Brothers - Beaujolais Blanc

A last taste of Summer - fresh and full of flavour, with a flinty aftertaste that lingers - sip, don't glug, and allow the flavours to develop. Excellent with an (indoor?) BBQ or as an aperitif before a Sunday Roast.
Yapp's Saumur is also very nice - light and gentle - ideal lightly chilled with Fish and Salads - good price for a wine that we don't see often enough in the UK :

This yo-yos up and down in price - usually a little cheaper than the nominal £10.99 - but is excellent value even at list price.
Smooth as a very smooth thing that's having a smooth day - the best wine to go with bangers and mash or a hearty stew that I've found for quite a while. Or just open the screw top and have a glass as a treat on a chilly evening in front of the fire. Lovely stuff.
Aldi - Ghost Vines Lodi Zinfandel

This ought to be terrible - a Lodi Zin for this price is just crazy - in fact I almost didn't risk trying it. Which would have been a big mistake - it's lovely - a bit lighter than a Lodi should be (but that's not a real issue), but full of taste and soft fruit flavour. It's a serious bargain which I suspect won't last long - fill yer boots and drink as your 'house red' with just about anything.
Aldi - Grande Alberone Black Bio
https:/ /www.al di.co.u k/grand e-alber one-org anic-bl ack-bio /p/0762 2015875 5900
Again - one I approached with extreme caution - no declared region or vintage - just Italian Table Wine. It could have been a shocker - but it wasn't. I've got a rackful now (hence I can risk telling you lot about it). Probably the best £7.99 wine I've drunk this year - huge flavour, big fruit and (as the blurb says) a hint of chocolate in the aftertaste. Drink with your Sunday Roast & stash a few away for Christmas Dinner. Trust me, I'm a Dave.

An absolute bargain at £5.99. Luscious and juicy and full of stone fruit.
