Remember the next big Vintages sale is next weekend.
Also, had a terrific red last weekend, recommended by my favourite Vintages consultant (and you know who you are!).
It was APOLLONIO VALLE CUPA 2001
Rich, dark and voluptuous, a tremendous mouthfilling 50/50 blend of Negroamaro and Primitivo, it is crammed with dark, brambly fruits and liqourice character. Now why am I thinking of Prince and Purple Rain - no wait that was Appollonia! Ah but she was dark and voluptuous too!
But I digress, the wine was perfect with Lamb Shanks done Osso Bucco-esque style over Couscous. At $19.95, this could have been a $40 to $50 Super Tuscan just as easily. Check the LCBO site to find some.
