After a couple of disappointing whites recently a mid-week wine was called for that could be relied on to deliver, and Tim Adam\u2019s<\/a> 2006 Clare Valley Riesling proved up the the task.<\/p>\n

This wine was bought for \u00a39.99 in May 2010 from Tesco, a supermarket I infrequently patronise but when I do it invariably results in bottle from Tim Adam\u2019s range making its way into the shopping trolley, his Fergus Grenache is another I have multiple bottles & vintages of.<\/p>\n
