    Don't know if to post here or the cheese recommendation thread. Sell this wine in my shop made from fermented whey tastes like sweet wine with a cheesy finish real weird shit. Sells well though info here LINK. The guy who makes it also makes some of the best cheese you can get in the UK.

    Picked up a couple of bottles of this today. Good call Alex.

    Have just enjoyed a couple of glasses with a beef casserole we 'bolted together'.

    At £6 a bargain, check it out.

    Glad you enjoyed it Barry.

    This week's Tesco recommendation:

    Berberana Rioja Reserva Etiqueta Negra Currently on 3 for 2 - so normally £6.99 a bottle it works out at £4.66 - I guarantee you will not find a better Rioja at that price!

    I do like Rioja, so I'll look out for that Berberana. At £4.66 that could well be the bargain of the year!

    Once again - Good call Alex!
