Tesco Wine Sale
Lona:
Can't see it being the same Serenity. La Chasse du Pape is a cote de rhone. The nearest I've found to Châteauneuf-du-Pape is Nuit St George but that costs and arm and a leg.
Clive:
I haven't tasted La Chasse du Pape Serenity although I did once have a bottle of Nuit St George back in the '70's. I can, however, confirm that the Rioja which Tesco is selling for £4 a bottle is very very good. I suppose I might have to get in a further supply just in case we have a bad winter. ;D

Yes, I like La Chasse du Pape too!! It's one of the cases I've ordered from the Tesco's offer. I suppose it depends on how discerning a palette you have, but I didn't find it totally dissimilar to Chateauneuf, although I haven't tasted them side by side. It's certainly very enjoyable, Bev, if you like full flavoured deep reds.

Yes, it's still quite dear even with the offer. I have a couple of bottles over from last year, so I will enjoy those over Christmas.

I'm going to have to try this Rioja, as someone else also recommended it. I think I've been put off Spanish wines, because I had a really rank bottle of something or other last year, and haven't gone near Spanish since.
Rik:
Are you sure that wasn't Spanish Fly, Simon? :evilban:
