High Street Wine Challenge

After feedback from various friends, I have decided to do a weekly wine recommendation. It will be something available from supermarkets or wine stores nationwide and on a budget of £10 (sorry Dad, £5 just doesn't cut it anymore).

So for my first one, I am drinking Marquis de Pennautier Viognier from the Languedoc in France (available from Majestic at £9.99, currently on offer at £6.66). This is a very dry, fresh style of Viognier, with bags of acidity but also lots of ripe apricot fruit and a hint of ginger spice. It would be great with roast chicken or with lebanese or moroccan cuisine. Tonight however I am drinking it on its own. Absolutely delicious and well worth the £6.66 offer price!
