A bit like Guinness Dark Side Bath Ales 4.0%
Hardly exotic but favourite claret of mine is Wolf Blass - Yellow Label, Cabernet Sauvignon.
Seems to go up by a quid every year and is normally in the 10 quid mark these days. I happen to have an ASDA near my office, of course under no circumstances buy another of your food there but they do have deals on wine and this sometime goes for a fiver, in which case I’ll buy a case.
Taken from another thread:
Whilst being a claret lover, I would be the first to admit that some very fine wine is being produced in Australia and in South America (especially Chile and Argentina)Quote:
The real connoisseurs of audio equipment abilities can be compared to connoisseurs of vintage wine and oil paintings. The modern folks are into mp3, digital photography, and Australian or Californian wine.
An Aussie wine I enjoy is the intriguingly named: “The Waxed Bat”, a blend of Shiraz, Petit Verdot and Malbec grape.

A Chilean Merlot I also enjoy is: “The Patriots”

At around £7 a bottle, neither of these are expensive.
I think that quote is a little dated now, or at least I can't agree with it. Bit snobby or misguided, I really like some Hunter Valley stuff. Maybe I just don't have expensive taste in wine! I'm quite happy with something like Campo Viejo Rioja or even just a Casillero Del Diablo even if it is everywhere.
If you live near a Waitrose I highly highly recommend that you purchase a few bottles Cuvee Chasseur. It will only cost you £4.35 a bottle.
Aye, as long as the tomato and mushroom sauce (Chicken Chasseur) duznae leak out and drip on yer flares! :eyebrows:
Marco.
Can i ask if that cheap arse cider you supped in France had any fancy name?
