Wine with Leslie: a mindful new year, rather than a Dry January

Suggestions this week are two bargain reds - and an excellent natural Bordeaux.

January is a time for reflection and abstemiousness they say, and I can do a decent job of the former but I probably have a glass of something alcoholic beside me while I reflect.

I will not be going dry this January and I don’t particularly recommend that you do either. A better plan is to resolve to be a little more mindful throughout the year and drink less but better.
