No pay check till Feb? No problem!
You can still get a bottle of decent white wine from the South West of France at the shrapnel price of £3.99.
Made from Producteurs Plaimont it is called Vieille Fontaine and available at Tesco Extra. It’s made in the Gers region of SW France (They are famous in the States for the Colombelle wine).
This guy is a crispy bomb! A completely refreshing tipple. Lots of citrus loveliness mixed in with granny smith apples. The grapes are of the local sort – Colombard and Ugni blanc.
As for my food pairing. Well eggs are a notorious wine killer – usually they only go with bubbly stuff, but Vieille Fontaine went perfectly with the omelette – it’s all about the acidity in the wine cutting through the egginess of the, uhm, well, eggs.
A great pairing at a super budget price.
My bottle of Vielle Fontaine was kindly sent to me by the folks at Westbury (thanks Sandra) but if you would like your own, and I highly suggest you try it out, they’re at Tesco Extra.
