Wine of the week

[NoMercy]

Pepperwood Viognier - £7.99 in Morrisons.

This Californian beaut is pure nectar, full of honey with a distinct, lingering hit of clove. I've been a fan of this enigmatic grape for some time and this wine certainly didn't fail to deliver. Unfortunately, despite my best shopping efforts, I was unable to find any goats' cheese anywhere to accompany my delish vino. (Was it National Goats' Cheese Day yesterday? Everyone had sold out!) I will indulge in another bottle this coming Friday - so roll on the weekend! lol

Have you discovered a wine or food that has floated your boat recently?

[McMouse]

Bet those pulled posts were corkers.

Triggs will come back with a "whine of the weak"?

[Bobbisox]

And a he-he from me McM.

We should organise an AB wine tasting trip. Preferably the Napa Valley...

[Sqad]

NoM... excellent idea Napa Valley and the one next to it .the Alexander Valley..... particularly the red wines "Silver Oak." as good if not better than the Premier Grand Crus.

Need bobjugs come? :-)

Could be a mistake; I assumed the title had a missing 'h'.

[Old_Geezer]

To prove my wine credentials, I find a bottle of Baron St. John usually does the trick. Although variable, and not as cheap as it used to be, it's not bad for the price.

[NoMercy]

Sqad, we'll drop him off in Las Vegas ;-)

I'll give that a try then, OG.

[mccfluff]

Just bought Namaqua Elephant River ( South African ) Chenin Blanc/Chardonnay @ 13% for £4.99 half price in Morrisons. Nice Wine. Easy to gargle with !! ;-))

[NoMercy]

I can't recommend it highly enough, Fluff. It would make an excellent partner to indian or any spicy food.

Red - I've seen the Namaqua but I haven't tried it. I do like Chardonnay but I'm not a lover of Chenin Blanc.

[redman41]

Not sure what it would be like with JJ's Roast Pelican, NoM !! :-)))

[NoMercy]

Delicious, I'm sure... ;-)

[Old_Geezer]

Um err spelling correction. Baron St. Jean. from Aldi. :-O

[joggerjayne]

Audi sell wine, as well as cars ?

[DTCwordfan]

A very nice one here, recommended to me by an owner of a local vino-shop but it is very good.....a La Multa, 08, Garnacha grape from Calatayud in Spain......£6-95

Plenty of depth, rich and fruity blackberry/raspberry, hints of spice

[DTCwordfan]

I would head down to Sterling and pick up wines like Plumbush if you are heading up the Napa - Now if you are talking about visiting the Peju, I am in
