Me again Mel....
Any idea what's on offer from tomorrow at WR ?
Surely they must be due a 25% off 6 promo some time soon ?

Sorry Shez, It's not Mel :)

However,

Craggy Range Merlot 2008 Gimblett Gravels, Hawke’s Bay, now jacked up to £15.99, is on offer for £11 (a fiver off instead of 4 quid)
.
Mel's TN ....Bizarrely aromatic. Like very ripe plums on a windowsill. Very oaky taste, and althoughy it says they’re French there’s a vanilla/popcorn flavour, and some very plain chocolate
.
INMHO, this is a laying down wine, and should come good in the end - 4 years ? not sure.

If it must be WR, the Calvert Reserve Merlot and Cab effort is quite good on the 2009 vintage for £6.49. It must be 2009 though.

No 25% any 6 at Waitrose. :(

The new offers aren't very exciting, tbh.

ZILCH interesting in Tesco either. Absolutely Nothing worth bothering with in my big store

How is the Mount Elizabeth chardonnay ?

Talking about a more subtle little number

There is a Nicholas Potel chardonnay, Bourgogne 2009 in Majestic, unoaked, light and fragrant, but with a nice core, that I thought was of a reasonable standard - offer £5.99 I think.

Yes, I have tried that Nic Potel on the tasting table some time ago. The staff were raving about it.

It could have been a little too chilled but I though it a little dull compared to other 09 chard's at the time (Those Jadot Macon's for instance) although as you say a nice core in a lighter style. I don't think it was on offer at the time, though, and the offer price is good value.
