Wine: Chateau Moulin de Citran 2008, Haut-Medoc — €14.99

EVERYONE begins their love affair with fine wine somewhere, I was unlucky enough to have mine start in Bordeaux. 

I say unlucky because I can now rarely afford the wines that first charmed me from this region when I joined a wine club in 1992.

Now I never thought I would be writing this, but if you want to buy some very good Bordeaux from the excellent 2008, 2009 and 2010 vintages this Autumn you should head to Lidl from September 8. The chain is putting wine at the forefront of its move to capture the middle-class shopper and I think their upcoming sale will be a bit of a game-changer and really put it up to the other multiples.
