BOB Wines‘ online presence may be lacking in detail, but their wines are great.
Don’t ask who Bob is, though, as it’s short for ‘bring own bottle. Which isn’t really required anyway, as you can buy a bottle to put the wine in.
Day 35: Moldovan wine
Having been vaguely aware of Moldovan wine, I thought it would be an interesting idea to try some. My local corner shop stocks a wide variety of interesting odds and ends reflecting the interesting backgrounds of my local community.
Moldovan wine: maybe
I’m not entirely sure about this one, it’s won’t be winning any awards. It wasn’t particularly good. If anything it was like a red, sweet syrup. For the sake of the Moldovan wine industry, I hope it’s not typical of the kinds of wine that they make. It also wasn’t particularly cheap, so all round a bit of a disappointment. This wine is definitely worth avoiding.
Day 33: Meerlust Pinot Noir
Meerlust Pinot Noir. Really? At least it’s not a beer post!
Today’s new thing post is quite brief, my most sincere apologies for that. If you have complaints feel free to leave a comment in the comment box ;). It’s a simple one, the picture says it all. I spotted a bottle of Meerlust Pinot Noir. I’ve had Meerlust wines before and obviously have had Pinot Noir before. The novelty lies in the combination of the two.
I didn’t even know much Pinot Noir was made in South Africa. I should have known. There is an entire list on Vivino: https://www.vivino.com/toplists/top-25-south-african-pinot-noir-wines-right-now-global.
