The wine sounds wonderful and I adore sourdough. Just had a look at their menu - that wine list is perfect, like a real Italian trattoria, nothing fancy, just nice pleasant food wines. I think that a lunch at a Franco Manca has just jumped to the top of my list for when I'm next in London.

Great thread!
Here are a couple that I HIGHLY recommend?
Honestly, for wine lovers out there, you will NOT be disappointed with these recommendations.
I ordered from this shop over in West London. Ideal if you can pop in, however I had to order online,
and they only deliver in batches of 12 - which is a bit of a bummer, but never mind:

Agoston Red 2009 (Spain) ?5.49

http://www.thewinereserve.co.uk/store/red-wine/-agoston-red-/

Review: Very fruity, full of flavour, EXCELLENT value.

Grant Burge Benchmark 2012 (South Australia) ?7.49

Familia Schroeder Alpataco 2012 (Argentina) ?9.99

http://www.thewinereserve.co.uk/store/red-wine/familia-schroeder--alpataco--malbec/

Review: A hearty 14% malbec. Smooth. Hints of coffee and espresso. Divine.

Store: http://www.thewinereserve.co.uk

Bought a batch to try, the list above is what I am about to REORDER

The Grant Burge is a good drop, can't go far wrong with an ozzy red really.

Highly HIGHLY recommend the ones I've listed

[JoeyGunz]

I'll call in Simon, it's only 5 minutes from my work!

[Simon G]

Grab one of each of the ones I mentioned. Seriously bud - you won't be disappointed
Would love to hear your feedback too on 'em.
If you love your Red, you'll love this trio…
Ordered earlier today 24 bottles total of this trio. 18 bottles are the Agoston

[JoeyGunz]

Yeah I just stuck a couple of each in my basket!

[Simon G]

Good man!

That Argie Malbec sounds delicious. Will add the store to my London to-do list along with the pizzeria recommendation from JG.

Is a bit outside of London but let me know when you're London bound and I'll ferry some up for you!

[Simon-JG-hr]

Very good of you, thanks. Much appreciated.

Is it just me or do Argentine red's tend to be Bob on?

Big Chile red fan here too.

[Simon-JG-hr]

If you choose well, some lovely Chilean wines (had a couple of surprisingly good whites from Chile too). I always think that M&S is a good spot to pick up a well priced Chilean wine - well, it was a couple of years ago. They seem to have a good team of wine buyers.

mhmm…
my biggest gripe with M&S selections (of Red especially)
is that they are well over priced for what they deliver...

[Simon-JG-hr]

I almost typed exactly those thoughts! Well selected (yet to have a bad wine from there), but like so much of M&S recently, a touch too much for what they are.
