The Wine Tasting Shop

We're all pinching the pennies! Julia is scouring the world of wine for great value wines adding more and more £8-£13 wines that punch well above their weight. My hubby and I barely go out for a meal anymore when in 'flusher' times we ate out more than we ate in. Partly because I'm learning to love cooking (I'm experimenting with gluten-free so if you have recipes to swap let me know) and partly because the cheapest way to eat is to make it from scratch. I don't know about you, but when I've put hours into a meal it's really important to have a wine that won't disappoint.

I promised to tell you all about my Italian Feast! The important bit is that I had to wear my 'fat day jeans' the entire week after the food fest!
We started making foccacia at 10am (I say we but Bruno (sommelier at Bocca di Lupo and amazing chef to boot!) did all the hard labour) and while that was rising and resting and doing it's thing we prepped veal saltimboca, a squash & Gorgonzola risotto and roast red peppers. So yeah - we ate A LOT!
But this isn't about the food - I have priorities - it's all about the wine!
