3 bottle price.

Rich, syrupy and slightly musty....not unlike a poor Sancerre rose that is rich but lacks any minerality.

Label says dry but my tastebuds say a tad sweet as it has a cloying finish.

The wine is Italian and is definitely the driest Merlot rose i've had outside of Bordeaux where they specialize in this sort of thing.

I see the 40% off promo starts again today, got an email last night with the flyer.

Yes, if anyone wants the voucher, just email mel@ the website name and I'll send it back to you.

I picked up a couple of bottles of the Villa Maria Private Bin Riesling '06 on the way home last night. It worked out at £5.40 a bottle.

Not a bad price for a lovely NZ Riesling, I might go back for some more.

NZ riesling is too sweet and full bodied for me.

I like my riesling like I like my sb.....dry, light bodied with intense flavour.

I am such a wooss.

You are, actually. I was at a great tasting of Platter 4.5 and 5 star wines at South Arica House (or whatever it's called) yesterday afternoon and tasted a wine that I immediately thought you'd like. I wrote "tell goosegogs" in the margin.

Durbanville Hills Biesjes Craal Sauvignon Blanc 2007 - £8.99 SA wines Online.

Smells of fresh figs - heady and dusty. Fresh, tangy acidity. Dry, and yet fruity, without anything sweet or confected. Very Good.

Have you tried the Flagstone. It was very good. My local has sold out.

Bugger !
