Weekend wine with Blake Creedon

Wine tastings are always a revelation, and none more so than the one hosted by Lidl recently for people in the wine media to taste.

While almost any big tasting will reveal some gems, I was blown away by both the overall high standard, and the enormous quantity of commendable wines.

For me, the first preconception to tumble was related to the standard of Lidl’s wines from ‘classic’ posh regions such as Chablis and Pouilly-Fumé which generally carry a hefty price premium.
