There are plenty of very good Mendoza wines out there. They came to my attention because years ago my old man brought some back from a business trip to Argentina where he met some of the vineyard owners & was given some bottles of rather fantastic red. I can't remember what they were as I gave up looking for them here long ago, but whenever I've seen a Mendoza, I've often bought it.
Reserected post eh ;) It's brought over from Germany & cost a couple Euro a bottle ;) very nice it's 14% AlcQuote:

Sounds right up my street, so I'll defo be trying some!
Marco.
Trappers Hat is available regularly at The Travellers Rest in Bebington, The Wheatsheaf in Raby (nice thatched country pub) and the Red Lion in Parkgate. I think I have also had it at The Harp on the Neston marshes. It won beer of the year at the Birkenhead Beer festival and will no doubt be making another appearance this year alongside other great beers. 22 - 24 October tickets sell out fast.
2005 Chateau Moulin de Farguet Montagne Saint-Émilion
http://www.vins-fins.com/media/catal...rguet-2007.jpg
Saint-Émilion's satellite region of Montagne, lying due east of Lalande de Pomerol. Merlot is the dominant grape with some of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc grown.
This wine uses 75% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. (13% ABV). About £9.50 a bottle from Laithwaites
Best opened and decanted an hour before drinking, so as to let the spicy oak and vanilla flavours open out.
Just enjoyed a bottle with a breast of chicken with seared red peppers and a chorizio, tomato and butter bean sauce. Accompanied with boiled potatoes, Chatenay carrots, broccoli florets, leek and asparagus.
Hi Campbell,
Thanks for the info. I like the sound of the Wheatsheaf in Raby, but where in the Wirral is Raby?
I have friends in Neston and Heswell. Is it anywhere near there? :)
Marco.
Hi Barry,
I like the sound of the Chateau Moulin de Farguet Montagne St-Émilion... How much is it? :)
Incidentally, and I know you'll thank me for this, there is no 'e' in Saint-Émilion ;)
Marco.
Haha! Thanks Marco. I drink enough of it, you would have thought by now I would know that Saint Emile was male. Spelling correction made.Quote:
