In my dreamsI thought for a minute you wrote "a nice full bodied Gavin on offer in waitrose"
Bacchus is a bit of a “Marmite” grape in my experience. People either love it or hate it.I reckon the English Chapel Down wines, white red or pink, can't be beat, especially the Bacchus and especially when it's on offer.
Majestic, UK.Sounds interesting, where are you getting it from?
Yep - Torres do some lovely stuff.When I was younger, around 22, my father, a rather snobbish wine merchant, asked me to blind guess a wine during a visit to his for Sunday lunch. I'll always remember the look of shock when I sipped and immediately said "Torres Gran Coronas Black Label 1973." If, like me, you'd tasted it once you'd also have sought to ensure you always remembered what it was. Delicious.
