Ok well not literally, more in a light at the end of the tunnel kind of way.
They say things come in 3's.
In the last fortnight my macbook died and went to hard drive heaven, my engagement ring got damaged and I suffered the most agonising wisdom tooth ache resulting in a week of antibiotics which meant NO ALCOHOL for a whole 7 days.
The latter couldn't have been timed any more inconveniently as it fell right over the weekend of Tapas Fantasticas 2012, an award winning celebration of Rioja wine and Spanish food which I had really rather fancied a mooch along to.
So far this all sounds a bit doom and gloom and I am not one for blogging about negative stuff, only the good, the stuff I love!
Well, things got a whole lot better when the lovely peeps over at Phipps PR offered to send me a bottle of Rioja to enjoy once I had finished taking that pesky medication, so as not to miss out on all the fun.
And so as promised, a bottle of Rioja Gran Familia was delivered with compliments.
Produced by winemakers at Bodegas Castillo De Fuenmayor, this wines emphasis focuses on fruit flavours rather than oak, a contemporary twist compared to other Rioja's.
It is smooth and savoury with a spicy undertone and subtle hints of vanilla, very easy to drink and can be left to improve for up to 3 years.
The average price guide is an unbelievable £6.49 which makes it incredible value!
Recommended to accompany Sunday roast, especially lamb, this wine would be a welcome winning weekend addition to any dining table and will definitely be putting in another appearance at mine in the very near future!
