This month was wines
from Aldi and Lidl, presented by Jean and Freda. Jean knows a huge
amount about wine and is endlessly informative, while Freda knows
little but is endlessly entertaining, as befits a retired
schoolteacher.
So, are the wines any
good?
Broadwood Folly
Sparkling – Denbies, England. Lidl £14.99
- Pretty decent fizz, a champagne subsitute, but not the cheapest.
Gewurtraminer 2014. JP
Muller. Lidl £7.99
- A steal – Very good for a very good price
Chenin Blanc. Chateau
de Fesler, Loire. Aldi £9.99
- Not sure – not really a bargain
Marsanne. Jean Claude
Mas, Sud De France Aldi Exquisite collection. £5.99
- Definitely worth the money.
Pinot Noir 2015
Wairarapa, New Zealand. Ali £6.99
- A very good pinot noir for just 7 quid – a bargain
The Cape Red
Stellenbosche 2015. Shiraz/Grenache/Cab Sauv/Mourvedre Aldi £5.99
- OK, bit run of the mill perhaps
Minervois La Laviniere.
Shiraz/Grenache/Carignan Aldi £9.88
- Not really a bargain.
Montbazillac. Domaine
de la Maletie 2013. Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc/Muscadelle. Lidl £7.99
- Another bargain. My daughter even went out at the weekend and bought some.
We had an excellent
turnout of about 38, and a really fun evening.
