Wine of the Week

[NoMercy]

Andrew Peace Estate Collection Grenache Shiraz 2011 Vintage Reserve 14.5%

A full-bodied dry red wine with gorgeous aromas of red berries, leading to flavours of raspberries, cherries and an intriguing smoky twist on the palate. This wine has great depth but is soft and silky an would partner well with pasta dishes, roast meats and sausages.

Available in Morrisons for the normal price of £6.99.

Anyone got any nice wines in stock this weekend?

For those of us who are not wine afinicionados, the new Sol Spanish red in a tetrapack carton from Morrisons - £4.59 - is perfectly palatable. Tetrapak wine's a brilliant invention for picnics, bring your owns, etc!

I had a Care (Spanish) Grenache (£11.75), their Grenache Syrah (£6-50) and A Temperanillo/Merlot (£8-50) and the latter was the really delish one, another bottle sitting here but I am going out for some lovely slow-roasted pork and rosemary infused fondants at my local in 10 minutes!
