Domaine de l’Arjolle 2008 Viognier/Sauvignon
Saturday, November 28th, 2009Looking for alcohol to numb the pain of having to watch Strictly Come Dancing, I tangoed across to my wine rack to find something easy drinking, fruity and cheap, like Craig Breville-Toaster
I found this Côtes de Thongue from the Wine Society at a mere £4.95. Made in the increasingly popular South of France, a region that most wine merchants are pushing as recession friendly gluggers, this stands out as something more sincere. Cheaper than a budgie’s twitter, but tastier than a topless bird on a St Tropez beach, this smells and tastes of two childhood sweets: Pear drops and pineapple cubes. Don’t expect fine wine at this price but I’ve tasted many uglier wines at double the Roubles. And as for Strictly – is it still on?????
Stumble It!
