Wine Of The Week

Block 13 Mclaren Vale Australian Rousanne/Marsanne/Viognier.
This is a dry and elegant wine with flavours of crisp, crunchy green apple and tropical fruits, with a sherbety tang on the finish. Would make an excellent partner to Asian and spicy foods, or finger foods such as duck rolls and Tempura prawns. Available in Tesco at the normal price of £8.99. Also available online:

Also, for those of you who haven't had a good mooch around yet, there are an abundance of wine offers on in the Supermarkets, as we head into the festive period.
Sainsburys have some excellent cavas, proseccos and wines on at 2 for £10, and Tescos have some premium selection wine on at 2 for £12.
If you spot any great offers on Wines, beers and spirits, or indeed mixers, please give everyone a shout.
Thanks.

Will keep an eye out for malibu (although I've never understood its appeal) - I think Aldi may do a 'lookalike' - would that be any good?
Meanwhile ... a nice Mâcon Villages from Majestic - every bit as good as the description on the website - nice and 'chewy' and with enough character to drink with most meals - excellent with Roast Lamb

My (tiny) local Adsa didn't have the Viognier, but did have the Primitivo and a Gavi from the same range both at £5 - will report back when they've recovered from the journey home ...
... meanwhile a nice Waitrose Palo Cortado ( http://www.waitrosewi...30206633/Product.aspx ) sherry as an afternoon stiffener seems appropriate (well it is dark now) ;)

Unfortunately, in Scotland we no longer have the multi-offers on alcohol.
I did notice Sainbury's were stocking a Mâcon-Villages reduced to £5. These days my visits to the supermarket are confined to very early mornings before the alcohol counter is open in order to avoid coughs and sneezes as my immune system is low. I therefore very much appreciate the Wine of the Week thread!
