Many thanks to Frazer who runs both Red Wine and White Wine for sending me a bottle of each colour to try. I took this photo (below) on Saturday evening and you can see we tried the bottle of Merlot. I’m no wine critic by any means so I’m not about to tell you that I detected the delicate hints of this, that and the other! Suffice it to say the Merlot was really rather nice and it went down a treat along with my favourite pasta meal (a Jamie Oliver recipe using ingredients such as savoy cabbage, Mozzerella, bacon and roasted pine nuts).
I don’t actually like white wine so my wife has had the bottle of Sauvignon Blanc all to herself and she says that it fitted the bill ..nice and chilled during last weeks heat wave.
As I mentioned last week, you can win a case of wine in the easy to enter competition on either the white or red sites. Why not join in even and submit a red wine review of your own
