Radio WM 30/06/17 Wines with Attitude

  WM Morrisons Pinot Gris  2013 Morrisons £8.25 Pinot Grigio with attitude! The bottle might suggest this is German but actually it’s from Alsace in northern France. They do Pinot Gris really well there. Made by one of France’s most respected co-operatives, Cave de Turckheim, this has enticing honeysuckle aromas, hints of honey, too. It’s […]

Radio WM Recommendations on taste at Love Wine

Most Wanted Albariño 2015 12.5% Sainsbury’s £8.00 (25% when you buy 6) or £7 at Love Wine. Also at Co-op and Bargain Booze.

The Ned Sauvignon Blanc 2016 13% Co-op £6.99 reduced from £9.39 – 25% off. My favourite under a tenner New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Zesty lime, with gooseberry flavours polished off with a smoky finish. Particularly great value from the Co-op at the moment, because it’s worth every penny at the full price too. Food match: […]

Days of Summer Torres 2015 12%  £6.99 Co-op, £7.49 Majestic (6 bottle price) This is 100% Muscat. The unusual thing about Muscat is that it actually has hints of grapey aromas unlike almost all other varieties. It also smells enticingly of orange blossom, white peach and exotic fruits. It is light, just off dry, with […]

Radio WM Recommendations 1/7/16

Picpoul de Pinot Tesco Finest* 2015 £6.00 12.5% Refreshing, zingy and sort of lip-smacking which is perhaps not surprising as Picpoul means lip-stinger (apparently). It’s also just a little salty so is oyster-matching magic. Great for sunny day picnics. Not great for keeping for months on end. So drink now in the summer months. Food: […]

Chile: 3 Cool Reds

We all know that wines from Chile are pretty good value, right? They’re easy-drinking, inoffensive and crowd-pleasing, aren’t they? You don’t have to spend too much to get something acceptable. But what happens if you were to spend just a little bit more? Is it worth splashing out a few extra few pounds? Would you notice the difference? You betcha! […]
