Pick & Mix

In these modern times, there are so many different types of wines to choose from. Each to their own and a range of ‘something for all’ - I chose the following: Domaine de Peyssonnie Muscat Sec (Grapes: Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains). From Languedoc -Roussillon, France, this is a very popular, dry, white wine, that pleases many. Another oftenselected white wine is Garille Viognier – Sauvignon Blanc (Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier). Again, from the Languedoc-Roussillon region, this dry, white wine is also extremely popular. From the bouquet, on the nose, to the mouthfeel, this is a ‘pleaser’, for so many white wine lovers. If a rosé is preferred, then Var Les Richoises (Grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault) from Provence, France, does not disappoint. This dry, rosé wine, has much appeal – and the price is right! For a red, my selection goes to Lirac Réserve des Capouliers (Grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvèdre). This production is from the Rhône and often chosen as a very good red wine, adorning dining tables, regularly. A powerful wine, exuding a bouquet of ripe and juicy, red fruits. The mouthfeel continues the enjoyment, with a good finish on the palate.For sparkling wine lovers Bissinger Premium Champagne (Grapes: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay,

Meunier) captures the mood, perfectly, with the balance and perlage adding to the occasion and enjoyment, superbly. A wonderful production, that is favoured for many celebrations, get-togethers and events. Sweeter wines are always popular and Jurançon (Grapes: Gros Manseng, Petit Menseng) from South West France is a regular choice, that pleases a great number of people and is to be found at numerous gatherings. Having very good fruit flavours it is wonderful wine, for this category.Very capable of being enjoyed by themselves, I located this complete selection amongst the excellent range of wines/drinks at a Lidl store. Also, I found very good value, plus advice on food pairings for wines and how to present, to impress. For all details and information, please visit www.lidl.co.uk

As always, Enjoy! Trevor Langley
