When I emerge resplendent in glory from my dry-wagon, I refuse to pay high prices for the best wines known to man!
Nine months to go, baby
I thought you already won the bet?
I have been refusing to pay high prices for the best wines known to man for some time now. In fact even longer than I have been boycotting Jeremy Vine.
Sancerre - ROC de L'ABBAYE (Florian Mollet) 2012 (bit upwardly mobile at £16 but worth it)
Barbaresco - Taste the Difference range, blue label 2009 (£10, often seen on offer around £7.50)
These both stand up very well even to spicy Thai and Chinese (the barbaresco's sweet-edged bite is outstanding with them), and the Sancerre was lovely with roast chicken/chicken salad too. It's a really flinty, ripe citrus/ mineral-edged classic - chill it well now!
