The Wanderer Malbec from Argentina is a beauty. Deeply fruity with a kick. Great bottle too.

β€œThose who boldly seek shall find.” A nice Star Trek split infinitive there! πŸ˜‚

LOVE the bull headed corkscrew logo on this one.

But then we noticed it has a screw top! πŸ˜‚

It’s 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 isn’t that bottle amazing?

This Navigator Cab Sav is superb. Incredible deep flavour of fruits and a touch of dark chocolate.

Best Cab Sav we’ve had in a long time.

We’re 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!

8/10

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.

Is this the BEST VALUE Boutique Railway Hotel? Great Northern Hotel - King's Cross review
YouTube video by RogEdwardsTV Is this the BEST VALUE Boutique Railway Hotel? Great Northern Hotel - King's Cross review

Classic style meets modern comfort at the Great Northern Hotel, London.

It’s a RAILWAY hotel with stories - and maybe the best breakfast near King’s 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 it’s a belter.

It tastes as colourful as the label. Almost black pepper on top of fruit. Liking this a great deal.

UNBELIEVABLE 5 Train Journey to the Secrets of England’s Tyne Valley
YouTube video by RogEdwardsTV UNBELIEVABLE 5 Train Journey to the Secrets of England’s Tyne Valley

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 – with stops at Hexham Abbey, Haydon Bridge and a classic Railway Hotel pint.

Watch the full adventure πŸ‘‰ youtu.be/kX_eMgAzPq4

Well of course the cat on the label made us pick this Mandriola de Lisboa red blend.

It’s very different. Deep taste of red fruit but with chocolate and pepper. Liking this a great deal.

I’ve been clobbered by a massive migraine today so my tastebuds are screwed. Here’s Mrs E’s take on this Oxford Landing Cab Sav.

β€œBitter taste, slightly vinegary. Maybe salty chocolate. Not the best Cab Sav.”

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 β€œRelease the Beast”.

We’ve had this Devil’s 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.

Back on our radar is this superb Jacob’s Creek Double Barrel Shiraz.

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