Had to go in Sainsburys this afternoon, so had a look at their wines.
They had 37.5cl bottles of Saunternes half price,,£13.00 down to £6.50, so i bought a bottle,,not that i've tried it yet,,its still in front of me here,,i'm afraid to open it,,never paid this much for 1/2 a bottle before....
I've got two questions....first one is..its 2005 "vintage",,from reading about it, it seems to keep for years,, but on the back of the bottle it says drink within 1 year of purchase!! Why's this,, i thought it would have kept ok...
Second question,,,,has anyone tried to make a Saunternes style wine?? Would be interested in trying it, if anyone has a reciept for it..
Thanks.
