Jacob's Creek Semillon Chardonnay

I’m not a very good wine drinker. Well, actually, I’m a GREAT wine drinker, in that I am able to consume great quantities of the stuff once I got started. Trouble is that I just don’t hold it very well. And the wine that I like not to hold very well best is Jacob’s Creek Semillon Chardonnay. I’m sipping a glass right now, in fact, so if I trail off subject mid-op and start telling you that you’re all my best friend, you’ll have to excuse me. Jacob’s Creek SC is from the South Eastern region of Australia, which is the area I believe most Aussie ... more

Well, here I am ¾ of the way through a bottle of wine so I thought why not write about it. Problem is, as this is a new product it will probably be posted at about 9.30 in the morning and make me look really bad!! Anyway, the wine I am drinking is Jacob’s Creek Semillon Chardonnay – one of my favourite easy-drinking white wines. Children In Need is on TV, hubby is asleep on the floor, the children are in bed and I need cheering up. So what better than a bottle of my favourite plonk, all to myself. This wine is produced in South Eastern Australia and the bottle I am drinking is from ... more

Deano76 and Jools 30 have probably been awaiting this op, following our exchanges tonight they were aware that I have been sitting in front of my PC with a bottle of Jacob’s Creek Semillon Chardonnay which is a white wine from the South Eastern region of Australia. I am quite surprised that blurbubble hasn’t reviewed this one, as we are all familiar with her wine ops. I first stumbled across Jacob’s Creek when going for the local off licences buy three bottles for a tenner offer. The bottle I am drinking now cost me £4.69 from my local Budgens store. Drinks direct will charge you £5.88 for the ... more

I'm only 18 but I have just discovered how fantastic wine is as an alternative to beer :) I have been trying more and more of it at some posh balls. My parents drink this particular wine reguarly, and I'm sure in years to come when I'm grey and old I'll still be drinking the stuff, by the pint! (maybe not) I like it so much I felt obliged to research it a bit in my dads wine books, so here goes. In 1837, Johann Gramp, a devout young Lutheran from Bavaria, emigrated to South Australia. Later, with his wife and child, he joined some fellow Lutherans at Bethany in the Barossa Valley, where he ... more

Next to my block of flats is a Sainbury's local. It isn't good for the big shop but it is good for nipping in for some fruit and veg, or a bottle after a hard week of work. Every week they have around 3-4 brands half price, quite often this one. I`ll be honest, I`m tight, and so always aim for the half price wine. I work on the principle that it's a nice brand, but half price which is better than getting an own brand for 14p a bottle less or so! Now comes the tricky part, I'm just not a fan of red wine whilst my partner is. When it comes to white she likes dry whilst I prefer the sweet. Not ... more
