So I went easy on the wine in Superquinn for this year's French Wine Sale. I decided not to buy anything I'd bought before, for reasons of economy and efficiency. There are lots of nice wines I've bought before in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.I decided to be lazy and bought a couple of reds as recommended by Kevin Ecock and they are as follows...
Domaine Cristia Cotes Du Rhone 2012 - €10
I've had a couple of wines form Domaine Cristia and they've been pretty decent, so I'm giving this one a try.
*Update - drinking this as we speak and it's not bad, fruity but drinkable with a decent finish. Not sure I'd but it again, though.
Puy de Dome Auvergne Pinot Noir 2011 - €10
It's hard to get good Pinot at a reasonable price so I'm hoping this is as nice as in the review.
*Update - this was delicious. Some nice soft red fruits, elegant and light and definitely drinkable with or without food. I think I'll get some more of this.
