Virgin wine sale climaxes too early
I 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.
