I was given this bottle of wine by Monkey who had procured it for himself at some country fayre and then decided that I should have it. Now I've had a fair amount of English white wines, including a few sparkling wines and even a rosé, which on the whole have been rather decent. I just can't remember ever having an English red wine before. Here are my tasting notes;
OMG! Nose - hot dust, spice and oak. Floral, perfume, green beans. Thin, tart with a little berry - acid nice. Variety???
Draw your own conclusions, but just let me add this: there's no place like home.

NHW: My English family hasn't seen many rainbows in the 18 month long winter they are enduring...I'd better top up and Ca. sunshine before my trip.
Monkey: Wasn't that bad, but you probably wouldn't want to drink a whole bottle :)

I like the title to this post because, coincidentally, I have decided to reduce my commenting on blogs, as I notice the conversation has become a massive redundancy. But if you are willing to pay a penny for each thought, I can come up with a few...
Thud: You need to drink more wine to chase those weather related blues away. I'll help you starting Friday night.
Tomasso: I'm going to raid my piggy bank to see how many of your comments I can afford.
