It’s better to be fashionably late, than to simply not turn up!
Some time back Damien mentioned that Sublime Wines were interested in getting people to review their wines. In return for a bottle all you had to do was write a review.
So what happened?
Well I got the wine, but then I got sidetracked with stuff and things and never got round to writing the review.
As for the wine… Well, I’ve always liked a drop of wine.
A nice fruity wine might be sold as a perfect companion for a meal, however there’s nothing wrong with settling into a bottle while relaxing and watching a DVD in the comfort of your home. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it!
The wine on offer was a 2004 Alaia
I don’t think I’d ever tried Alaia previously, as I tend to stick with much stronger wines, such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon.
I did enjoy it, but I’m not sure if I’d go out of my way to grab a bottle again. However that is no reflection on the wine itself, but more a reflection of my taste buds!
