Wines for the Weekend
Words: Gentleman's Journal
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.
