everyone

Chateau St Roch.
Chimieres 2016. Cote de Roussillon Villages, France (Vivino £11.30)
Torres Celeste -
Tempranillo 2015. Ribiera Del Duoro Spain (Waitrose £12.50)
Norton Winemakers -
Malbec 2016. Mendoza, Argentina (Waitrose £13)
These are all wines at
slghtly premium prices (except one) – perhaps a step more than
everyday drinking prices. 3 stood out – The German Lemburger at
£5.99 is (or was) a real steal. But its all sold out apparently. The
Bonterra is one for those who still like the full on oaky Chardonnay
style. The Gewurztraminer at less than a tenner is worth buying –
it is not a wine that's easy to find at such a good price.
