I had a bad experience with the 2017 of Auchans Plan de Dieu, but this 2021 is quite the opposite. Rock solid for the price. Continue reading →

The only difference between these two bottles from Tesco is the grape variety – tempranillo versus garnacha.

Pure pleasure: Ferraton Père & Fils La Tournée Rouge 2020

Image ~ May 30, 2023 ~ Zoltán Németi

Just a €7 syrah-grenache from the Languedoc, but so enjoyable that I’m tempted to call it the wine of the month.
