This one does exactly what it says on the tin: black cherries, spice, mint, plums. It’s like chewing gum and walking….through a French orchard on a wet autumn day.
It cost me £9.99 from Virgin and is one of the better ten quid bottles from their stable.
Serve cool (not cold). It accentuates the mint. The perfect antidote for drab football matches, and a great partner for pizza.
I have just arrived back in the UK after a short sojourn in the north of Italy. Driving home from the airport, a Tesco visit was necessary to restock mundane stuff like orange juice and milk, and meaningless luxuries like food. But I couldn’t resist checking out the wine shelves for few essentials.
In Italy I tried to sample a few local wines, Piemonte being the nearest wine region. I had a couple of bottles of Grignolino, for example, the common feature of which was a slightly unpleasant salty after taste. I know what you are thinking ladies – let’s go no further.
