the wine thread

[Happyhonkaman]

That reminds me.. I have yet to pop in but Supervalu have a really good 'premium wines' offering on the go at the moment. They have reduced a bunch of their better wines to €15 a bottle which a tenner off what most of them would sell for ordinarily. They have:

Marques de Riscal Reserva (2020)
Marques de Caceres Gran Reserva (2011)
Faustino 1 GR (2104)
Costa Mediana Amarone (2014)

Thats savage value at that price point, they also have a CuP but I dont know if its a good one - having said that the Giggy from the same producer is great so chances are it is also decent.

For whites they have a Chablis, Sancerre and a Pouilly Fuisse all at €15 as well

Ill be popping in this evening to relieve them of some stock

Dropped in to my SV this evening - they had all of the reds bar the Faustino so I took 4 of each. The vintages are:

Marques de Riscal Reserva (2020)
Marques de Caceres Gran Reserva (2018)
Costa Mediana Amarone (2020)

Popped in again this evening and they had a shelf full of the Faustino 1, it’s the 2016 vintage.. that’s a steal at €15

my girl anita in dunnes cornelscourt (cranky old foreign lady) said 15 is the lowest she has ever seen it.

Yep, I’d say they are verging on loss leaders. The Cacares GR is a super drop as well, probably better

Got this from Curious Wines a few months ago and cracked into it last night in the lingering sunshine

a lovely Dry Saline drop, great tack for the price

 

[Crisp Sandwich]

This is a mighty drop.





Currently 20% off here too - https://www.curiouswines.ie/product/monastrelon/ - at €15 it's a no-brainer.



This one, on the other hand was terrible - I couldn't even finish the first glass.
