I know there are several wine lovers on here, so I thought it might be a good idea to have a place to discuss and share each others favourite tipple.
A wine I have recently taken to is Barefoot Merlot. A Californian wine, full bodied wine with a blueberry and plumb flavour. Really worth a try. We get it from the Co-op at a little less than £7 a bottle.

Posted on 04/07/2017 14:42 by DavidKlyneIf you like Sauvignon Blanc One I have recently enjoyed is Mud House Sauvignon Blanc from Waitrose £8.99 a bottle, although sometimes on offer. It's from New Zealand and has a really fresh, crisp taste.

I've got my Nectar points saved up - just waiting for the next "buy 6, get 25% off" offer at our Sainsbury's and I'll be trying some of these suggestions!
Christmas Dinner is the one meal a year when I like to have bought a nice bottle of dessert wine - don't usually go for the sweet stuff, but with Christmas Pud, it's slips down nicely.(I do repeat the performance on New Year's day so I should have said "two" meals!

Posted on 22/12/2017 15:19 by WherenextFor those who enjoy Sauvignon Blanc have you tried the Oyster Bay from NZ?

We're not much in the way of drinkers but I've yet to try an NZ wine that I didn't find palatable. Our son and future DIL look out for wines they know from NZ but wineries that export don't always retain the same name 😲. They've done some great bicycle winery tours over there.
Will report back.
