    Just to give you guys an idea of the price of the older years - http://www.millesima.fr/producteur-c...FWLHtAodjisAeA

    £7 a bottle is a bargain, so if you like Bordeaux type wines - grab as much as you can!

    St. Stefanus Blonde(7% abv)



    Terrifically complex top-fermented Belgium blonde ale brewed at the Sint Stefanus monastery in Ghent. Each bottle is marked with its cellar release date (this one July 2012) as the beer changes character from 3 months (the youngest beer released from the Abbey) to its 2 year shelf life. The beer can be poured clear, or the yeast sediment can be 'swirled' into the glass too for a stronger and more complex flavour. I'm a 'yeast in' man myself... One to sip!

    Can anyone give me a few white wine recommendations for Aldis?

    My mum has a local branch in Manchester and I'd like to pass on a few tips. When I was up there recently we got a £3.99 Pinot Grigio but were left wishing we'd spent a bit more. There must be some better options ...
