Guest Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Waitrose have Peter Lehmann Clancy's Red @ £4.99 a bottle (£2 off) (a big promotion). It's wonderful stuff, Australian, full bodied, 14% alcohol (hic), tonnes of vanilla. I think it's a great buy. Just in case anyone is interested and likes a good red....

Guest Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I bought 6 bottles tonight and I'm going back for another 6 tomorrow.... to last the year (of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Thanks - I will look out for that one. I bought a case of Tescos Finest Howcroft Estate Merlot today (yes ******* Merlot!) & it is divine. Reduced from £8 to £4 a bottle - not bad , & you get another 10% off if you buy 6 bottles or more Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Good topic title, Grd, just makes one want to look. Surprised SarahJo isn't here already too I just don't like the idea of buying red wine from across the world (food miles & all that) when European wines are so good. Maybe when I've drunk Italy & France dry (in that order) I'll try some. Oh, and I'm planning to sample all English wines too, really, some can be excellent. Just jealous really, I love red wine but it has a funny effect on me, even one sip. Hope I grow out of that reaction, I miss Fleurie, Chianti......etc Perhaps I should start a white wine topic, as that doesn't make me ill. (Just giggle a lot ) Oh well, I can enjoy reading about red wine. Cheers, it sounds lovely, Graham. And Sarah, drop of Merlot....Beaujolies, Bordeaux.....mmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Italy and France Sheila? - what's wrong with starting in England? Some very good wines now - so I'm told anyway Even less food miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffie Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hey all feet firmly out of mouths this is a very good topic and we need to keep this up to date with offers. I'm off to do a shop tomorrow so I'll let you know what I see and thanks Sarah for the tesco bargain! I always worry about the alc vol, I'm merrily drinking the wine and I nearly fell off my chair when Mikey said he'd put a 15% back on the shelf. I'd be running up the road in god knows what if I drank 15% BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Sorry Sheila - speed reading again - it was late I'll bring you a bottle of Staffordshire's best when we come to see you It was just any chance to have a go at grd really - normally I'd tell Carl and he'd also be rushing out to stock up but he stopped for three months last October and since Christmas just has one bottle a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahJo Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Sheila ... I couldn't post yesterday, as I was a tad worse for wear. Graham cooked on Sunday night .... as I don't get much of a birthday sharing with Ben . Anyway ... 3 bottles of red later . Needless to say Graham did the school run in the morning .. and I took my time getting up. I did not feel , just a bit fuzzy . We drank ... Chateauneuf Du Pape Reserve ( pre-christmas Tesco offer ) usually £14 a bottle. Then something else ... M&S gold label Cabernet Sauv. and then a McGuigan Estate, Shiraz. All were very nice, and good quality, else I would have been . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a couple of glasses of red you could put me onto Ribena & I probably wouldn't taste any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
