I'm drinking a good red quaffer right now, Jamieson's Run Coonawarra
cab/shiraz/merlot blend. Smooth and easy, but with a taste of quality. GB£7-8 is
probably about the right equivalent. The Castillero del Diablo range from Chile is
another of my favourite "everyday" reds.
Cab Fan, have you heard or tried anything from Cousino Macul recently?
