RoadRunnerFan Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Had a glass of Ancyra Turkish Merlot as a matched wine with one of my courses at Michael Caines' in Manc yesterday it was spot on. Would never have considered Turkish wine before trying this. Had a look online to see where I could pick some up and they do it at the wine merchant in Bromley Cross, will definitely be popping in for some next time I'm passing. Quote

Have a look for a reasonable Vacqueyras, Lirac, Cairanne or Gigondas, if you still want French Red. Quote

Currently, Malbec's is where it's at. We enjoy Nero D'Avola at Il Toro, so might look that one up Quote

Spider Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Can't remember if I've already mentioned this, but Yellow Tail do a couple of new reds, one of which is simply called Big Bold Red Don't let the name and rather plain labelling fool you though, it's a fucking belter. About £8 in Tesco but I've settled on it as my Go To wine. Covers all the bases - good with pretty much any food, on its own or being poured into your nostril through a funnel. Quote

stevieb Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Cheap cdp is 9 quid in Asda at the moment (or it was on Friday). I still don't think you can better aldi for value. Get on their 'exquisite collection' and you get very decent plan de dieu, cotes du rhone, gigondas etc for between 7 and 9 quid a bottle. Is it too early in the week to start drinking! Ha Quote

Ha I've just poured a vodka, lime & soda if that helps. I Don't normally drink on a Monday or alone but the bottle winked at me on the counter top. Quote
