Here's a nice one, it's probably my favourite blended Scotch and not that common, i think some of the larger Asda stars stock it, that's where i get it from at least.

Used to be my favorite blend until a couple years ago when they changes the blend and the bottle shape. Was an Islay based blend but they have diluted the blend.Quote:

More claret! Happy says she's fed up and wants something full-bodied and Italian for a change :eyebrows:
Btw, Lidl have got some superb, fruity and refreshing whites in from the Veneto region of Northern Italy, which would make lovely spring/summer drinking.
I know you're partial to a cheeky wee Pinot Grigio, but these wines made from grapes indigenous to the Veneto area are in a similar style, and arguably better.
This is the pick of the bunch: https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Wine-Cella...articleId=2055
And if you want one of the nicest Pinot Grigio you'll have tasted, try this:

Superb with a seafood risotto or pasta!
Finally, something from a little further south, in Puglia, *this* is a real stonker:

Now run along and get them before they run out! :cheers:
Marco.
Noticed the first one in the book they sent me along with this red. https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Wine-Cella...eId=2066&ar=11
Yes, Grant, that's a very nice regional red. I think it'd be right up your street :)
The whites were mainly for Barry, as I know he likes to sip on something fresh, young and fruity in the summer, and her name's not Nancy... :eyebrows:
Marco.
I like a young fruity Italian myself ...always did :eyebrows:
Got a present of this today.
