Tesco Wine Sale
mistybear:
Thanks Clive, I agree, but not my French sister-in law.
Clive:
My favourite white is Chablis but nobody does reds as good as the Australians. Shiraz is incredibly good. The French made the mistake of selling their vines to the Australians who have made a good wine even better and at a cheaper price. Who can fail to like sparkling Chardonnay which is made from grapes grown on vines that originated in Champagne. It's the DB's I tell you!
Sandra:
I prefer real champagne made from mainly pinot noir as Dom Perignon originally made it, not the newer versions using chardonnay which can be made more cheaply through not using just the first pressing of the grape as is a necessity when using pinot noir, so that the wine doesnt get tinted by the skin.
As much as I like Australia and Australians, I tend to find that their reds have the same character as the people, a little harsh and unrefined at times ;D
