They have excellent special quality Ruby port at Xmas.

should know how this works by no
If you have not seen Boiling Point (the film) it is truly brilliant - highly recommended. Stephen Graham (and the rest of the cast) is just superb.
I think there is a follow on series just started on the Beeb.
Anyone recommend some cheapish (£5-£15 supermarket fair) red wines to stock up on? Recent lInks above seem to be gone already...
Cune reserva and Cune Crianza (not overly Oaked) are both excellent value for money you can get the reserva for £10 and the crianza for £8.

Thymiopoulos Xinomavro 2019/20, Greece
If you're looking to get into Greek wine, Xinomavro is a great place to start. It's one of Greece's star grapes. Think of it as a delicious cross between Barbaresco and Pinot Noir. This example is made by a man who’s widely recognised as an expert in the art of crafting great Xinomavro. It’s...

There is (or used to be) a Mosel Riesling branded by Tesco (Steep Slopes) for about £10 which I like - it’s very dry. Also a Medoc from Sainsburys (Tour Prignac) for about the same price - I use it for cooking but if there’s any left in the bottle it’s fine to drink - if it’s left to breathe for a day or two - horrid when it’s first opened.
Is this another poor man's Montrachet, I'll let others decide.Certainly a delicious Chardonnay alongside the Tasmanian.
Had a Kumeu Hunting Hill 2016 with a fellow wine lover a couple of evenings ago. We agreed it was just perfect.

Mm.Hunting hill is oos at TWS as a single bt.
I think I'll get a six pack Village,one Coddington and the Tasmanian.
Can't wait for another Waitrose sale to get some more " Cru"
I don't think Coddington is worth the extra. IMO get Village and Estate, HH for special occasions.

After months of drinking Spanish wine which tastes of cow poo, French wine which tastes of compost, Italian wine which tastes of tobacco, Spanish wine which tastes of the sea and rusty nails, my brain and body craved for something nice and simple. Wine which tastes like wine.
Perrin Ventoux. Here with squid and taboulé. Anthony Rooley playing solo lute music by Michelangelo Galileo in the background.
It’s actually quite a well made wine, it’s not at all young or a fruit bomb. I seem to get through a bottle every three months - but I definitely want some in the house at all times. A good egg of a wine.

It takes me much less time than that to get through a bottle!
