November 2019. Robin Goldsmith - Southern French WInes

Robin Goldsmith (www.writetaste.co.uk) presented wines from the Pays d'Oc. A wide selection, several of which aren't availble in the UK, and where they are, from Independants only. So I'm not giving prices, as they aren't relevant.
I can say they would be in the range £7 - £20 a bottle

Wines
White
Domaine Les Veuses Vermentino 2018 -13%
Les Domaines Auriol Renaissance de Ciceron Sauvignon 2018 - 12%
Domaine Gayda Figure Libre Freestyle Blanc 2017 – 12.5%
Rose
Calmel & Joseph Villa Blanche Grenache 2018 – 12.5%

Domaine de la Jasse Tete de Cuvee de la Jasse 2016 - 14%

Favourites were the Vermentino white at £8.95, available from Lea and Sandeman, and the Fortant de France Malbec at 10Euro from the Vinyard.

Almost a full house again, the usual slow start with volume increasing after the 2nd glass !
