Red Wine - Talk to me
Discussion
Hello All,
I'm still learning about wine but I do know I've always been a fan of an aged Gran Reserva Rioja. I've recently started branching out trying different styles and adore a good Malbec for example but also partial to a nice Primitivo or Chianti - Although these are a little on the lighter side of my pallet, I can still appreciate a good wine when I taste one. I've just had my first decent French, a nice Chateauneuf Du Pape; fruity and not as full on as i'd like but very tasty nonetheless.
I usually spend between £10-£15 a bottle (sometimes less if it's on offer, but i'm finding offer wines are on offer for a reason and very rarely worth their rrp).
Can anyone recommend a good red to try please, style, grape or region!
What's peoples thoughts on the wine cases / clubs from the like of Naked or Virgin? £50+ off the first orders. I'm sceptical or are these worth a try?
Also, anyone on Vivino?

Thanks for your help so far guys.
The wine society looks really really good. Definitely worth a try. I couldn't find the one mentioned above with 12 of their own bottles / label stuff? Only this: http://www.thewinesociety.com/shop/ProductDetail.a...
I would fancy trying 12 different wines to get a taste!
In the mean time I managed to get 25% 6 bottles at Waitrose Cellar and went for a few recommendations including a Cairanne, Barbaresco and Barolo.
I have asked for a wine tasting experience for a christmas gift, so let's see what santa brings!

There are loads of mixed case options. You also get regular details of offers and mixed cases sent to you as a member.
For £20 it really is a no brainer.
Thanks for this! I'm going to get one. But looking at the membership, I'm failing to see what the £40 is for/covers?Here's the link

Also, it asks if I've been introduced by an existing member? Happy to put you down if it gets you some credit or freebie. Might as well, right!
