Virgin wine sale climaxes too early
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009I was planning to tell you about another stonking January wine offer.
You might recall my review of Landelia 2005 Malbec last March where I was a Virgin’s thong away from apologising for visible trouser stains. I love the smooth chocolate and cherry flavours that slip from a glass of Malbec like a soulful line to the ladies from Theophilus T Wildebeest.
But Lenny Henry’s parody of Barry White probably lasts all night, or at any rate, longer than the Virgin Wines New Year sale.
I picked up six bottles of Landelia Malbec for £40.74, or £6.79 per bottle only a couple of weeks ago.
If you want some now, you have missed the boat. The price is back to its original £8.49. But even at this level, you would be naiive not to tuck a couple of bottles away, if only as an ingested alternative to Stud Delay.
