I concur with this guy. Tis good. Slatey, green grapey, subtle sweetness and very obviously riesling.

The above is worth a read if you're on a budget.

Hello stranger, how's things in the wild west?

The Sains Gavi and Tesco Soave are regulars for me. Will try the riesling.

I am good, thanks.

Got stuck in a 2 hour jam yesterday which amused me for some reason :lol: but pissed off just about everybody else. :twisted:

For me this Riesling is at it's best at about 12c, hint of pear drops when too cold.

I tried some other cheapies. I'm not on a budget but would like to find some pleasant cheapies for the fridge for summer. Mostly for passers by who wander in and stay until you've run out of wine. :roll:

Tesco's Cotes de Gasgogne SB at £5 is water pale and almost unpleasant tasting and the Anjou ( off dry chenin ) is just bland.

There was a biker on the telly who on a Monmouth to Usk run found some original children's books in a layby. I didn't see what they sold for. The valuation was about £200...was it you.

Very pop. biking route. I only go thru Monmouth if I'm headed more N & E. Going to Usk, AberG, Brecon etc. I go via Mynydd Bach and LLangwm.

Much as I hate to agree with our welsh wizard, this is actually quite good.
Teeny bit sweety, but what the hell ? £5 ? Riesling notes without the aviation fuel, quaffable, cheap.
Get more ?? Hell yes, why ever not ??
