You keep referring to her as the mistress. You are not married, therefore she is not your mistress. If she is married, she is still not your mistress. If she likes to dominate you and beat you up then she is indeed your mistress. Mistress Cane Walloper. Thank you, mistress, can I have another kick in the balls?
Reasonably priced, but the meals widny feed any normal person they are so small. And their wine is ****e.
The wine they do with the "dine in" is ****e ... But they have soem great wine.. espcially the chilean and argie wine#
Aussie wines are by and large pish anaw. Unless you want to spend upwards of a tenner on a bottle of wine you can get from the "old world" for much less. California, is equally **** and equally overpriced for summat decent. The soof affricaans got it right. Their pinotage, now produced all over the world by lesser or better degree, is normally a good buy. But yes, I prefer French, Italian, and Spanish wines. Good stuff and cheaper than "new world" to get equatable quality. Get that right roon ye.
I know a genuine wine expert - first guy to get an honours from WSET and the first person to be offered their scholarship with Thierry's. He now owns an importing and retail wine business and his party trick is tasting things he's never tasted before blind and telling you what they are simply via the methodology of making it. Anyway, he says the biggest mistake amateurs make is to group wines by their country of origin. Wine growing regions are so big that a variance between soil acidity occurs in all countries and every wine-growing country has the temperate climate and the variance in soil PH to make good wine, all it takes is the know-how which, he claims, is not in short supply any more. The guy's an actual obsessive freak (it's quite impressive) but he says if you've never tried a wine from a certain country that you like, it means you haven't tried the right wine - he actually reserves most of his critical judgement for wines from traditional French regions as the producers there have an attitude that they don't have to make fine wine anymore as the very fact it comes from their region is enough. Don't shoot the messenger. I know ****-all - until I met that guy, I didn't even know that Jack Daniels wasn't bourbon and Southern Comfort was a liqueur
It's all true enough, they test wine these days to see exactly what chemical compounds are present and they can replicate good quality wines really easily and cheaply. I tend to like Italian and Spanish wine simply because it's good value. Just picking at random without even looking at a label a 6 quid bottle of Spanish tends to be much nicer than a 6 quid bottle of French, etc.
Yer mate is a ****er. Wine is always about personal taste. Nothing more. If you happen to quite like a grape, or a region, or a country that is what you like. One man's pish is another man's nectar. Personally I went off 'heavy' grapes like Cabernet or Merlot a long time ago and it doesn't matter where they were produced. I do occasionally have a Cabernet if it's mixed with Syrah (Shiraz), and grapes like Pinot Noir or Grenache tend to be equatable across the board. I am slightly against "new world" wines cos the ****s over charge for their produce.
By and large they don't over charge for their produce. For example, you can get really good Bordeaux at reasonable prices. But, I guess it's all relative.
I've had some excellent Chilean wines, their whites are generally better than their reds. In France, its' often cheaper than the French stuff, and the French stuff is cheap as **** over there. Too much overpriced pish sold in this country, and the FR/ES/ITA wines are the worst offenders.
