I always appreciate Belgrove's rhapsodies. However, sorry to pollute the thread with the name of the Coop. I bought a bottle of this Rhône as a gift for a lunch invitation* yesterday (did not realise it was blended). Coop staff always know that if the £££ are in double figures I'm buying it for someone else
I did read that one did not do this in France as it implied that they would not be offering a good wine to go with the food they were preparing. I don't think in this country there is the inference that you expect your wine to be served with the forthcoming meal. More to go in the cave for a later date. Don't know how true this is. Perhaps flowers are a better guestly present?
