I had meant to do a blind tasting of the Lambrini with Vinomaker this summer whilst Thud was visiting, but I forgot. I thought it would have been an entertaining tasting for me and Thud to share the Lambrini with someone who had never tasted it before. Then I completely forgot all about the Lambrini again - until just yesterday when I spotted it in my wine-stash (whilst looking for a particular vintage of something altogether more serious). Time for some Lambrini-larks.
Well, it wasn't much of a test for Vinomaker, as he immediately deduced that the tipple in his glass was not made from grapes. He's good. Still, I wasn't altogether disappointed in my quest for cheap entertainment at Vinomaker's expense: his face upon first tasting the perry had to be seen to be believed. He very quickly poured himself a glass of a 2015, Miner Family Viognier.

Why the name, Lambrini?
I'm with Vinomaker and the Miner!
Tomasso: I think they were trying to sound like Lambrusco. Perhaps with a bit of Martini Bianco thrown in!
NHW: Good choice.
VG: I figured as much, but then wondered that is so stupid could it really be true? I suppose it could be true. We in the industry bamboozle ourselves thinking that the public has caught up with wine. Not so, is't?
Tomasso: 'Tis true. I'm sure this stuff sells by the tanker load, it is marketed very well. There is something out there for everyone.
Easy on Huyton there kidda!
