I'm putting my neck on the block, as a newby here, but Aldi Albarino, a white Spanish from Galicia is superb, and they do a great Amarone repasso valpolicella too.
As of now...:champagne:

Hi Sandy,
Yup, that's also a goodie, if you're into Spanish wine [count me in], which tends to be a little different. My favs are the truly 'big' Rioja Gran Riservas, such as Marques de Riscal and Faustino (GR), to name but two - awesome! :)

Just been for the weekly shop to Lidl, and picked up another top-notch bargain red, which I'd like to draw your attention to, see here:

La Fondation Lussac St Émilion 2001.
...for a ridiculous £6.99!
Ok, Lussac is what's known as a 'poor man's' St Émilion (and certainly a world away from a Grand Cru Classé) but it'll still be a stonker, on similar lines to the Fronsac, which I recommended here recently (although I'd expect the latter to be marginally better).
Enjoy with a nice juicy (aged) rib-eye steak, griddled on the barbecue, served medium rare, with champignons farcis, pommes daupinoise, steamed (super-thin) french beans, and nice side salad of lollo bianco/rosso leaves, lightly drizzled with home-made French dressing, as I'll be having later!
<Yum yum> :)
Marco.

Love a good Malbec.
Only one bit of key information is missing, daftee.... Which "stores" are we talking about - Lidl, Aldi, Asda, Benny Blanco's Booze Chain, or what? ;)Quote:

Hmm , Spanish wine . After a neighbour of mine moved house he needed a sandstone trough (a big bugger - half a tonne at least) moving with the tractor and loader .
I took it off his garden and stored it at home here on the farm , until he had the space for it at his new abode!!
I leant him a flat trailer to go behind his car and loaded it this end .
In return he asked me what I wanted . Being an old softie I asked for a bottle .
When he was on his Spanish Sojourn , he returned with a dozen bottles of red wine (forgotten the name now) and plonked them in my sunroom.
Ever since then Spanish is king
Shame on me , but the Tesco Value Spanish red wine in waxed containers is my staple night tipple :cool:
