What do you make of the Montvac Vacqueyras. My regular buy is the Exhibition Vacqueyras which is a couple of ££ cheaper. Worth trading up?
To be honest I’ve not had the Exhibition so I can’t compare directly. It packs a lot of lovely flavour in it and I love it but that’s about as much as I can say. This and Domaine des Genets from Delas have been my go to Vacqueyras for a while (I should do more experimentation in this appelation really) and I do love them. But I haven’t noticed the Delas one for a while now. I really should give the Exhibition a try. (so many wines and so little time!)
Sorry, probably not much help there!

Not sure if joining the society was a good idea…

I have added this wine to my next order:
I have recently watched Tim Atkin present some Alicante wines on probably YouTube, linked from Twitter and two of the six were Moscatel. This might have been one of the two. Will post the link if I find it.
UPDATE
Here we go… same wine.

Two purchases today.
First from TWS a case of this has gone into reserves.
Missed out on this earlier in the year but it is back in stock. The one review on the website isn’t exactly glowing but expert reviews elsewhere are very positive.
In Asda this morning I grabbed six bottles of this
95 points in the Decanter World Wine awards 2019. Originally £15, reduced to £7 and then an extra 25% off for buying six. Total cost£31.50 - so roughly six for the price of two. It will have to be pretty poor to not be worth that. Hopefully a real bargain.

for now and
into reserves for such times as we can see enough people to justify opening magnums*
*or possibly having one each with a straw on Christmas day and then sharing the third on boxing day as hair of the dog.

Now looking like that’s going to be my last order for the foreseeable. Upon reflection it was probably rash to have gone ahead and ordered it the way things are moving. If we get the lock down on Monday (which from a health perspective I approve of and actually think has been left too late) then my business might, just might, survive (with a big debt) if everything is open again in April.

Its really nice and an absolute steal for the money. Details escape me right now, but ISTR something vaguely Loire-ish about it.
Edit- actually that may have been the Roter Veltliner!

Sorry to hear that Mike, really hope it works out ok.
It might hurt, but you can always cancel or reduce your order if needs must.

thanks mate!
I’ve thought about it but, actually, saving a couple of hundred pounds in the greater scheme of things isn’t going to make much difference. But certainly no more orders until we see the light, that’s currently conspicuously absent, at the end of the tunnel.
