Wine

Just having a glass of sauvignon blanc by Fincher and Co, New Zealand.

There's a nice wine supplier just on Park Street by me that was selling some mixed cases with some great stuff in there.

I drink red or white or even rose depending on my mood.

Chilled white whilst cooking in a hot kitchen is one of my staples though.

Avery's?

I'm old enough to remember when our choice was between 'Blue Nun' and 'Black Tower'.

Amazing how the British proletariat now enjoy 'the finest wines known to man'.

There's a spirit thread and a beer thread, but I don't think there's a wine one. So here it is.

I'm considering opening a bottle of Malbec.

Can't go wrong with a Malbec, specially an Argentinian.

Rioja and Malbec are my go to wines. Not that I'm an expert or anything.

Same too a lot of the time, both Argentian and French Malbecs and white riojas are very tasty as well as the ubiquitous reds.

Although a nice Beaujolais is great in Summer. Or Winter too. Pinot noir is sometimes hit and miss with in my experience but then if you get a great one, oh la la.

Quite the timely thread this, i only had one glass out of the second bottle i opened with the Sunday roast yesterday and ive happily polished it off now.

Going to open a bottle of Flora and Fauna white which is also very yummy.

Used to hate wine till I went to Lisbon a few years back for New Years. Absolutely love a deep red now.

Global wine solutions its called.

Crap name but lovely wine.

I only found it in lockdown, never actually met anyone from there or been through its doors. I just turn up, get my ordered case from reception and run back into the street and my flat like a proper Covid lush.

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

I find living on my own I tend to drink less wine because I can't get through the whole bottle on my own. Tends to lead to me throwing a lot away.

Use it for sauces mate.

You can even freeze it in an ice cube tray for this purpose I'm informed.

I usually have a bottle of red open, lasts fine for a few days. Although i think 3 is the maximum I've kept it for without finishing, can't speak for it's reliability after that.

Caymus, Napa valley.

I read in the Tosun thread that Turkish wine is quite quite special... @everton1953

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Always preferred red wine although tried an Australian white in the summer and loved it- Barefoot Pino Grigio. There were some positives to Lockdown
