Wine of the Week!

[NoMercy]

Sainsbury's Taste The Difference Frog's Leap Fair Trade Pinotage

A vibrant and juicy red from South Africa! This wine is on the more savoury end of the red scale, with dark red fruit and hints of smoked bark, this is an excellent accompaniment to red meat and cheeses. The perfect Autumn/Winter red to sip in front of an open fire!

Currently on offer at around £6.

[NoMercy]

Anybody know of any good wine offers on at the moment?

[Old_Geezer]

I'm offering to finish up your bottle of Sainsbury's Taste The Difference Frog's Leap Fair Trade Pinotage, if that's any use.

[NoMercy]

S'all gone... ;-)

Lanson Black Label`s £15 at Morrisons. Shame we haven`t got one round here :-(

[ladybirder]

Yuck I hate that smoked or oaked taste in wine.

[NoMercy]

Hi 237. Morrison have some fabulous champagne offers this xmas.

I definitely want a bottle of Perrier Jouet on xmas day and I think I'll grab some Veuve from Morrisons.

good old cheap affordable unpretensous Cava.

[NoMercy]

Some cavas are exceedingly good. Prosecco is also a good alternative to shampoo.

For those of you who are interested, my local Co-Op is doing Freixenet Vintage Especial 2008 Cava at £6.49 a bottle.

Chin chin...!

just on a Rolf Binder Barossa Cab/Merlot Halcyon.....comme ci comme ca, en mon avis....La Manga del Bruya has been my discovery of October...truly excellent value.

Bailey's was half price in Sainsbury this week; probably sold out by now. I could sip it in front of an open fire all week, though.

[DTCwordfan]

should be marketed at Cockermouth and Penrith railway stations.......they may shift more.

[NoMercy]

Hey guys!

DT ... Where'd you get that wine from?

Jno ... You've just reminded me that I must, must, must get some Baileys in for Christmas. The FIL and I both love a drop after dinner.

Btw... If anyone sees any good offers on Tanqueray or Hendricks or even Gordon's Gin, please let me know.

Cheers x x

Have you tried Casillero Del Diablo Carmenere 2010? It`s gorgeous. It`s £7.99 in Sains but they had it on offer at £5.99 recently.

[NoMercy]

Is it Chilean, 237?

I tried a Co-op fairtrade Carmenere a while ago and it was rather nice.

[237SJ]

Yes, NoM. By Concha Y Toro. Chile does good carmenere.

[237SJ]

Tanqueray Export Strength (700ml) is on offer at Tesco for £14.24

[NoMercy]

Cheers 237! You're a gem. X
