Euro 2016

Not true. I don't tell ****s to spend 20 bucks on cndp when a Pinot Noir at a fraction of the price is every bit as good.

These whisky/whiskey ****s run around telling everybody to spend a fortune on aged crap.

Ye need mirabelles. I don't know what they are but surely ye must need them?

 

François Cotat, Les Culs de Beaujeu, Sancerre, Loire Valley, France 2011

This is not your usual Sancerre but truly delicious all the same. The nose presents a slightly reduced character with superb notes of beeswax, dried flowers and truffles with nuances of greengage, nettle and sage on aeration. The palate is suave to start but also very energetic, with a refreshing acidity and a beautifully long and mineral aftertaste. It is a stunning wine and a white that will benefit from being decanted – ideal with a roasted wing of skate served on a bed of orzo.

**** off

 

My fav wine is aldis argie Malbec... Ill octopus

 

I too have no idea what it is far less know it's taste.

 

Quite so, my friend, quite so.

 

Now I really fancy a roasted wing of skate served on a bed of orzo. Mmm

 

Aldos argue malevolence soup is better tho

 

When I drink wine - which is not often - I like a chilled Pinot Grigot.

 

My fav wine changes all the time.

However, av never been near a cab sauv or a merlot in years. Too thick and heavy. Like drinking syrup to me.

 

Imagine asking for a bottle of that in Waitrose.

"Bottle of your finest Sea Air please"

 

Nowt wrang wi that. I really only drink white with food rather than fun.

 

Has anybody tasted Laphroag?
It is ****ing rotten. Tastes like TCP.

I was in Crete and got talking to a young couple at the hotel bar. He was RAF and they had just got engaged. Anyhoo he started banging on about single malts and how her Da was a connoisseur of the stuff. He had purchased a lovely single malt at duty free Heathrow and did I want to try it.

So they went to fetch the nectar and me and the missus went to our apartment to tidy up as they were coming to ours. We had a verenda that you could have landed a helicopter on.

It turns out that the said super dooper single malt was Lephroag. I had never drank it before. He wis telling me how peaty it was and all that ****e.

I tasted it and nearly spat it out. ****in boggin. The better half is slapping me about the napper. The she tasted it.

She agreed with me.

 

A play on my aldis post

 

I like The Froig. Peaty and intense, with notes of Fangtastics, Macaroon bars and Hemp, with hints of Juicy Fruit, Wotsits and Will O the Wisp.

 

And a heavy hint of Savlon

 

With an undercurrent of Victory Vs.

 

Good for rubbing on your Herpes.

 

Used to like a bottle or three of Cote du Rhone. Gotta be red wine. White wine gave me a headache. Probably cause it's for women.
