Waitrose wine - any rec's?

[w00tman]

Looking to order a mixed case of 12 bottles from Waitrose, and just wondering if any of you fine folks have any recommendations?

No preference at all, s'long as it's nice

My recommendation is to search the net for a £30 off a £90 shop voucher with Ocado and then take it from there.

Buy 6 bottles in-store, and get 5% off.

'Campo Viejo' 2008 Rioja Crianza is on offer until 8 May - £5.93 a bottle.

As is 'Les Nivieres' 2010 Red Saumur - £5.69 a bottle. A fantastic summer glugger.

A perennial Waitrose favourite is Georges Duboeuf Chiroubles (a Beaujolais), however prices are creeping up, and it's now £9.49 a bottle.

Stay away from the Waitrose Chablis. These are all £10+ a bottle and nowhere near as good as the Lidl (yes, Lidl) Chablis at £7.49. This was once even more of a steal at £6.99, but it knocks spots off any other supermarket offering.

The Villa Antinori tuscan red is gorgeous. Their own brand Ripasso is a pretty good introduction to that style of wine.. superb

If you like Reds that is..

Curiously enough, just grabbed a dozen myslef.....

The Primitivo De Manduria, is a stonking hefty red, its good at a tenner plus, its a steal at 25% off

The Araldica Gavi at £6.99 (Ithink) is a crisp white, almost sherberty, lovely with prawns etc.

Other than that, the only others I have actually tried, are a couple of the Yalumba offerings,
The Shiraz is good, spicy, and the Viognier exceptional, cracking stuff at £6.70 or so.

Go for it.

I'm a big fan of the Catena 2009 Malbec - also available at Majestic.
