LOVE the bull headed corkscrew logo on this one.
But then we noticed it has a screw top! π
Itβs a fair and typical Tempranillo from Spain. Good with Tapas apparantly. But not amazing. A little too acidic for us.

We went a little over budget with this one - but isnβt that bottle amazing?
This Navigator Cab Sav is superb. Incredible deep flavour of fruits and a touch of dark chocolate.
Best Cab Sav weβve had in a long time.

Weβre back from Fuerteventura and this is a Malbec from Argentina named after a once lost legendary village.
Getting deep fruit and a hint of dark chocolate. Not bad for Β£8 from The CoOp!

Under 5 Euros in Fuerteventura, this red RenΓ© Barbier blend is peppery but tasty and fruity.
Nice to do a Random Red with a view.
Great value and 8/10.

Classic style meets modern comfort at the Great Northern Hotel, London.
Itβs a RAILWAY hotel with stories - and maybe the best breakfast near Kingβs Cross.

Oh wow! La Masseria Del Borgo Primitivo Manduria - is full of ripe dark berry fruits, with blackcurrants, black cherries and a hint of tobacco.
Almost Zinfandel with a Mediterranean twist.

The Fair Mile - a Shiraz Malbec blend from South Africa and itβs a belter.
It tastes as colourful as the label. Almost black pepper on top of fruit. Liking this a great deal.

Five trains. Three cities. One brilliant day out.
I start in Edinburgh, ride Lumo to Newcastle, then slow things down along the Tyne Valley Line β with stops at Hexham Abbey, Haydon Bridge and a classic Railway Hotel pint.

Well of course the cat on the label made us pick this Mandriola de Lisboa red blend.
Itβs very different. Deep taste of red fruit but with chocolate and pepper. Liking this a great deal.

Iβve been clobbered by a massive migraine today so my tastebuds are screwed. Hereβs Mrs Eβs take on this Oxford Landing Cab Sav.
βBitter taste, slightly vinegary. Maybe salty chocolate. Not the best Cab Sav.β

This is a winner - but get past the first few sips to taste the full fruit flavour and the black pepper after kick.
The Beefsteak Club - Beast Dark Red is a blend from Portugal. We love the black embossed sleeve it comes in.
On the back βRelease the Beastβ.

Weβve had this Devilβs Corner Pinot Noir before. Last time we marked it 6.5/10.
This tastes slightly better. Maybe a different vintage. But still a little too acidic and sharp.

Deep fruit flavours with a strong hint of Whisky flowing through it. A sipping wine.
