They say that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover and I guess the same
is true about wines. But I couldn't resist this attractive label, especially
when the wine was on half price in an Italian wine sale a few weeks ago.
Unfortunately, I put it aside, almost forgot about it, and then got a
pleasant surprise when I eventually opened it at the weekend. It was
totally delicious, at least in my opinion as I'm no wine buff. I hastened
back into the supermarket yesterday but the Italian wine sale was over
and the non-sale price is above my budget for a Saturday night
in front of the fire. I did, however, pick up an Australia merlot in the
New Worlds wine sale, again because I liked the label.
Will report on it at a future date.
