Title: Do you know your Claret from your Beaujolais? Post by: wader leg on December 21, 2006, 11:26:41 PM I've just consumed a couple of bottles of Wolf Blass Shiraz Grenache Red Label and mighty fine they were too.
To anyone who likes a deep fruity spicy red I'd strongly recommend it. Has anyone any favourites they might like to share with us, so to speak? Title: Re: Do you know your Claret from your Beaujolais? Post by: Dewi_cool on December 21, 2006, 11:29:13 PM I like red, white and rose!!!!

Title: Re: Do you know your Claret from your Beaujolais? Post by: kinboshi on December 22, 2006, 09:09:08 AM I know nothing about wine - I'll have a taste, and if I like it - I'll drink it.
But beer is a different matter. This is the bottle I like to see... (http://static.flickr.com/25/44644418_04850472bd_m.jpg) Tears of the gods. (not sure what the squirrel-thing in the background is doing though) Title: Re: Do you know your Claret from your Beaujolais?

Title: Re: Do you know your Claret from your Beaujolais? Post by: Colchester Kev on December 22, 2006, 09:39:57 AM I think the picture is quite clearly showing that there is nothing to be ashamed of in having a beer and fumbling with your nuts ..... but we all knew that was not wrong anyway, didnt we :)

Vosnee Romanee (Cote de Nuits), and Mercurey for the reds and for the white Pouilly Fuisse well, not at this very moment you understand.... Title: Re: Do you know your Claret from your Beaujolais? Post by: Dewi_cool on December 22, 2006, 09:46:19 AM If it's after 9.30am it's ok carry on
Title: Re: Do you know your Claret from your Beaujolais? Post by: ACE2M on December 22, 2006, 09:52:42 AM i've been amused lately by the reduced wine offers in sainsburys.
usually says £3.99 reduced from £7.99 but when the sale ends the wine suddenly costs £4.49 as standard. i have mostly been drinking pouilly fume lately and very nice it is to.
