BBQ's still on for tonight :
Minted lamb kebabs + prawn and monkfish skewers + Sweet Chilli chicken wings.
Popped into the Thatchers shop as I came through Sandford and picked up a few http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=thatchers&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1280&bih=687&tbm=isch&tbnid=bmCJtOOR6...

I tried this while in Spain.....never heard of it before, it is relatively new as wine varieties go...came out in Spain in 2015 I believe.
To my horror.......I liked it, a very drinkable Chardonnay.....not oaky at all like most Chardonnay more like an Alsace.
ooh..that looks lovely..and very appropriate to celebrate my teams return to the top league x
edit: I'm guessing you can't buy it here

I am sure you wouldn't go for anything cheap @Beenherebefore but it does look very similar to an alcopop ...like WKD....

@Cleoriff .............I can do cheap !
In the restaurant I think it was priced at 11€ so not cheap by Spanish restaurant standards (I usually pay 7€ to 9€) but certainly not expensive for an unusual wine. It's not one I would drink regularly but it's very gluggable.

I didn't think you did cheap. I thought you were canny at hunting for bargains. Therein lies the difference....
Now you say it's gluggable. Do you mean I wouldn't have to dowse it with lemonade

It's light, medium (definitely not dry) quite fruity with a background citrus taste but not sharp.
I can't find a supplier in UK but no doubt one of the specialist wine dealers might stock it
Ah so will need loads of lemonade before it is to my liking....
