Award winning wines from Aldi
Well you know it's nearly Christmas when the lights go up in your local high street during October half term, mince pies are stacked higher than santa's grotto in your local Tesco and, yes, all of a sudden there's a whole plethora (that's a large amount to you and me) of award ceremonies on TV. You know the kind of thing, Soap of the Year, TV personality of the year, non-entity of the year and all that.
Well my wine blog has been going for less than a month but it's come to my attention that an award ceremony is well over due. So, for the rest of October and all of November I've decided that I am only going to review wines that, for some reason or other, have won an accolade from a notable and trustworthy source.
So coming this week I'll be looking at Champagnes and sparkling wines from a store who claims to have Award winning wines from just £2.99. Even our highly respected guru Mr Oz Clarke has a very pleasant word or two to say about their Cremant de Jura, £5.99, so we'll be cracking open a bottle or three this weekend to see if this really is better than some Champagnes.
I'll also be checking out Aldi's Bushland Reserve Australian Shiraz which has already wowed Oz Clarke back in 2007 and should wow him even more with a price tag of just £3.99.
And I'll also be comparing these with some pricier numbers from other stores to see if price doesn't always guarantee perfection.
