I had lunch out with friends yesterday so wasn't much in the mood for dinner. My husband had a long day at work, and stopped at London Bridge to pick up a few ingredients for his favourite quick-cook dinner, meatsauce with pasta. I say it like this because while I would eat a big bowl of pasta with a small dollop of sauce (i.e. pasta with meatsauce) he eats a big bowl of sauce with the tiniest amount of pasta. In so many ways, we're totally different, but perfectly complementary.
On his way through the train station, he spotted some champagne-shaped bottles in the South African store, theSavanna. One of them was a red sparkling wine for less than £10, La Chanson made by J.C. LeRoux. We love red sparkling wines and haven't had one for ages, so he thought he would give it a try.
It was dreadful - tasting of Ribena - the Elysium of sparkling wines (and for those of you who have drunk Elysium before, you'll know this is not a compliment). It was also only slightly fizzy, not bubbly at all. I couldn't make it past a very small glass, and 3/4 of the bottle is still sitting on the kitchen counter - something that rarely happens in our house. To be honest, I'm not sure why we're saving this, as I don't think I would even cook with it.
