Wines for the Weekend

Wines for the Weekend

This week we find three of our favourite reds at amazing prices. All of which are French, easy drinking and smooth. Two of the wines (the Vidal-Fleury and Blason des Papes Chateauneuf) have a spicy finish, making them an ideal match to red meats and rich dishes. The last one, the Fleurie, has more fruit flavours and is a great all rounder that complements a range of dishes. All of these reds are worth stocking up on as they won’t disappoint, especially at these prices.
