The wine train


This is my first WordPress iPhone app blog and it’s on the train ride(3 hours!!) to Exeter, the Southwest of England.

Anyway my travelling companion was kind enough to purchase a tiny bottle (25cl) of M&S’s Shiraz/Cab (it’s about£2 or £3).
At first sight of the eye-dropper sized bottle I wrinkled my nose. But I don’t know if it’s the need for a drink or anticipation of the weekend holiday…but goshdarnit this stuff ain’t half bad.
Admittedly, there was a slight petroleum nose hovering above the sweet smell of spicy blackberry, however I think the odd scent is the product of the combined plastic glass and plastic bottle.

The palate is silky smooth and with a nice kick of ribena.
And all together a fine travelling wine — it does not though, match at all well with s&v crisps, be warned.
