December 1st - La Vieille Ferme

Well it's December 1st ... So here goes the beginning of the 20 days of wine, under $20! Some days may be red, white, or both! To start it off I thought I would begin with some wines that have become a staple in my home. They are inexpensive, easy to drink, and have a rooster on the label!

The white retails for $11.95 at the LCBO and is always available. It is basically a French table wine, and I believe that you can never (or hardly ever!) go wrong with a French table wine. It's a pale straw colour, with medium aromas and a crisp acidity. It is a dry wine with a medium finish, and delicious with anything - whether it be appetizers, main meal, or just to drink!

The red Retails for the same price and is such a bargain! It has soft tannins, medium finish and some hints of plum. This one goes well with cheese and meats and you can find that it sports the same lovely rooster on the label!


Both of these area great values, and definite musts in my book! They go with anything and won't break the bank throughout this holiday season!
