Under a Fiver
2006 Gérard Bertrand Muscat
Scented dry muscat from the south of France's Languedoc Roussillon – created
by ex-French rugby star Gérard Bertrand makes for a refreshingly juicy and
spicy dry white.
£4.99, Tesco
Under a Tenner
2007 Casillero del Diablo Pinot Noir
Devotees of Chile's good value Cono Sur Pinot Noir can now turn to a new pinot
in Casillero del Diablo's range, a sumptuously strawberryish red with
classic fragrance and red berry fruits – a Chilean pinot that's hard to
beat.
£5.99, Oddbins
Splash Out
2005 Cline Cashmere, California
A blend of the Rhône grapes, mourvèdre, syrah and grenache, California can do
Châteauneuf too, in this case a richly fruity, heady blend of textured
raspberry and damson plum fruit well cut by acidity and fine tannins.
£12.49, Oddbins
