Matching wine w/ food.
I found Perrin et fils "les Christins" 03 for 155 quid/12 (13 per bottle). I'll rarley pay more than €9/10 for a bottle (excepting port which is free from price restrictions *drool*) but here it's just not necessary to spend so much €5 is just fine. I find it hard to compare on prices w/ you UK lubbers as wine is extortionate there.
i have come to conclusion that my taste buds are knackered.i bought a couple of bottles of rioja to get in practice for next weeks trip to the spanish terrortries.again it was very disappointing compared to tonights bottle of blossom hill wine makers selection merlot.
Rioja? Just normal common or garden rioja?Try a reserva, if that doesn't work hit the gran reserva. I believe it's a matter of aging in oak that is the difference: normal being short to gran reserva long. I'd expect the gran to be darn oaky.

You are UK based I think?I've researched a little and this (or rather 02 03) is most expensive in US retailers - irrelevant, like . . . Full breakdown, bitte.

Don't know, but it worked. Mr Sharpe and I both managed our second Fontainebleau, Font 7b+s. I think he might remember more of the details about what was drunk, as he knows more about this stuff.
