Hi – I hope I am not too late here, but I just discovered your website this morning. We are starting a new website called: Roman Collar Restaurant Ratings located at http://www.romancollarrestaurantratings.com Since I realized that Catholic priests seem to know all of the best restaurants, I decided to combine my love of travel with this little known fact. We are inviting readers worldwide to submit their positive reiviews of restaurants, food, drink and share their cultures. So by receiving the free newsletter subscription we will be saving untold dollars by making interesting connections all over the world. We could not even buy that kind of fun. So even if we are not your winners, please join us as we get going – the website currently has an explanation of what we will be doing, but we expect to officially kick it off in a couple of weeks. Also, please join us on Twitter at: @HeavenlyDining Thanks so much.

Hope im not too late, but this does sound interesting. Good reviews of easily accessible wines are always a bonus.

My tip for saving has been checking out some of the wines NOT on offer, but cheaper. Many people (myself included!) probably just look at the offers in the supermarkets and think “oo a £4 wine that was £8, it must be good”, when most of the time it was never worth £8.

My best find so far (and probably hard to beat) is Sainsbury’s Montepulciano D’Abruzzo at just £3.31 a bottle – incredibly easy to drink, no tannins and nice and fruity. Super bargain. Buy buying plenty of this ive saved myself plenty of £1.67’s!!

This sounds very interesting – I’d love to be considered! I discovered this blog through following @thirstforwine on twitter as I’m slowly but surely gaining interest in finding and enjoying good wine – but currently without anything to read or help me! Thanks for the blog!

Thank you to all these volunteers. I’ll put something together and then share it with you in more detail after I get a couple of events out the way. Check out the tasting tonight

I’m definitely interested, I’ve only recently got interested in wine and don’t know much outside of what I like, so testing out an educational resource really appeals!

I would love to take part, love the new online wine tasting thing, would be great to be involved, learned so much about wine in the last year thanks entirely to the internet and its wine tweeps.

Hey,
Definitely interested in this. Have been firmly in the £3 a bottle Merlot camp I’m starting to expand my tastes and the amount I spend per bottle so it’d be interesting & useful to have a bot of guidance
Cheers
