The Lugny looks interesting.

Oyster Bay on offer? there's a suprise. Expect to see more of that.

I had a glass of the 2006 vintage of that Loius Latour Macon-Lugny last week. It was the house wine of a pub-restaurant in Harlech and I was considerably impressed. Esp since I am not a fan of Chardonnay yet this has so many layers of flavour.

GK, please get to this. For a fiver, we want to know .

The Majestic write up appears to be completely OTT..... Otherwise my local would have told me.

The Babbich reserve at £9.99 from STWC was disappointing.

All ears.

I will open it tonight, and the Bellawoooose at the weekend, promise :D

If this is anywhere near decent I will be going in for a case, have got some vouchers to use too.

I've been drinking Bella Woose '07 for weeks now, finished the 3rd, waiting for you, is like waiting for goddo :wink:

"Balls over the side" Aye ....ha ha...just cos it's a fiver. You're a pinot luvver, so don't get too upset, when it's a jammy little sod.

8 knicker at Maj
A fiver at Tesco
£2.99 at Homewares
What at GK's ?

I'll tell U something bout Bella what's it:

Yeah ! and BTW, there is bottle variance at Bellawoose, nout to do with corks, '07 has excellent cork. Ist 2 were more Oz like, 3rd more Rhone like. Ist two bought 2 weeks earlier, 3rd to 6th bought as a "find the last 07's if you can" suspect different tanks and diff mix. Both good

You've had yours for so long, you've probably got the Ozzy one :wink:

I think too many comparisons are made in the wine world, sometimes you have to judge a wine on its merits. I’m guessing this will be made in a fresh, ripe, new world pinot style with ample sweet cherry fruit and a soft, creamy mouth-feel. I’ll look for balance and how quick the flavours fall away. I like a bit of jam, I have a sweet tooth, however I don’t like the bitterness you get from over-extraction, the alcohol never feels integrated and the natural sugars feel jaded.

If OB is looking to off-load stock and this makes the grade, I’m happy to make room in the rack for it.

Well.....That all sounds swimmingly good GK - Yeah, even I'll fill one boot for a few chilled cherry aides in the garden this summer.

Probably a deal only available in Lichfield Tesco, haven't looked on the site

You are trusted :lol: .......Tell us tonight. Please
