Yesterday, a "wine expert" on This Morning said that Rioja is the perfect wine to accompany turkey.

Mines Village wine it is beautifull  25 tl for 2.5 ltrs but im not saying what village.

[Colwyn]

Is it not Mines Village?

[KKOB]

Nah, that's the pits.

I reckon this my be my best contribution so far in this fine topic.

Asda are doing Lindos Peak Merlot - I found it on one of the 'ends' for £3.50 a bottle, and returned to find none at the end but in the general reds area. It's possibly one of the smoothest red wines I've ever had, worth every one of the 350 pennies.

It looks like this:



Let me know what you think if you give it a try.

p.s. Members who's local Asda is the Perth one need not attend

A good call for this wine---Local Store had only 6 left which disappeared into my basket. Thanks for the recommendation, Scunner. Had been priced at £6.48 per bottle and was offered at 2 for £7.
A mellow merlot from La Mancha which would meet the approval of Sancho Panza.

Redwood Creek Californian Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

£3.99 at Home Bargains

Fab-u-lous for that price.

First recommendation for 2014.

Tesco El Pinsapo Gran Seleccion Rioja; was £9.99, now £4.99 - but buy 2 six bottle cases online and it is a further 25% off = £3.74 a bottle with free delivery.

One of my favourite grapes - Pinot Noir. Best vineyards now reputed to be in New Zealand (seriously expensive) and Chile. Morrison have the Chilean "Bicicleta" by Cono Sur on offer for a very good £4.99 (Tesco £6.99) AND 25% off if you buy a case of 6. Less than £3.75 a bottle. Thank you, that will do nicely.
