Spotted this in Sainsbury last time over

Wine search rates it 87/100, Ive drunk it some years ago & very good too. The price here is usually around 11 euros so a more modest UK mark-up at £12.

Tonight its LaLande de Talyran Entre deux Mers - white, a Cote du Luberon Rose & Antoine Ogier Côtes du Rhône villages vielles vignes 2015, almost without equal at the same price as we had our neighbours for dinner, excellent.

I'm looking forward to a nice ToftHill Winery Elderberry KO. The BlackBerry is supposed to be a good tipple too!

Do you use JB weld to stick them on the wall or do I rotate Blackberries make a nice wine, we make Pineau with them

That's the view when you've had a bottle haha. The BlackBerry made a sweet rose type even though I left it to ferment until it was dry. The elderberry knocked me for six.

Heres our latest batch of Pineau maturing in a chestnut barrel, its just a mixture of our own grape juice & Eau de Vie at 3:1 ratio to get it to about 15-16% then leave to mature.

The grape variety is an old Vendeen variety called La Chasse de la Rose which is quite nice for eating as well, we had loads this year & made over 30 litres.

A lot of clients “tip” me a bottle of that stuff. Goes undrunk for the main part!

 

Is your’s cloudy or clear?
