Just a thread dedicated to any wine you've tried that you'd like to recommend to others. Any colour or price range, just something you've enjoyed & you'd like to share with others. Especially in the build up to chrimbo.
To get the ball rolling, picked up La Piazza Sicillia 2005 Nero d'Aavola from Morrisons last week, on offer for £3.99. Now at that price I didn't have too many expectations, but it wan't bad. Definately benefited from being let to breathe a bit. 2nd day was a lot mellower. Nice, dark & frity with a slightly tart residual flavour, was good with today's family roast.
But my fave of this year was Boekenhoutskloof Porcupine Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon. Had this a couple of times in Germany this year, a trully beautiful red. Again, this benifits from being warmed a little & being left to breathe for an hour or so. It just rocked my world
*edit* the 3 o's in the title is to combat the weird bug that wont let you post the word good in the tread title![]()
