Wines For Old Geezer (And Anyone Else Interested)

[sunny-dave]

This week I have been trying :

https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/product-range/drinks/wine-cellar/red-wine/red-wine-product-detail-page/ps/p/french-pinot-noir/


Very tasty - I'd normally avoid a 'grapes from all over the shop' blend like the plague, but this is jolly nice - soft and fruity and a bargain at £4.49.


Or you could trade up to my current Avery's favourite :

http://www.averys.com/product/Red-Still-Wine/Ballon-de-Rouge-Cotes-du-Rhone-AOP-2011/1635511

Twice the price, but actually more than twice as good. Ignore the rather naff label, there's a very decent Cotes du Rhone lurking under the screwtop.

I'm about to order another couple of cases for spring drinking - goes very nicely with Roast Lamb.

Jolly nice?!

I used to drink some white, sweet, fizzy stuff (Frizz????) from M&S. Or Lambrusco.

I now prefer a chilled Pepsi Max or Seven-up. It has to be very, very cold.

I seem to be channelling JJ tonight, wolfie :+)

Going posh are you? It is the boating that has triggered it off.

There are dimensions out there who see only the price of the wine. It is the quality that is important. Enjoy your drinking and eating and burping.

It seems I'll have to go shopping then. Well I have a couple of family birthdays coming up so maybe if I take a bottle or so with me ...

Cheers.

Rowan and I bought a really nice Gewürztraminer and Barolo from Aldi over the Xmas period.
For the life of me I cannot remember how much we paid for each, but it was good value, cheaper than the other Supermarkets.
They do have some good deals if you keep your eyes open

Just to say the pinot noir was very nice. Thanks for the suggestion.
