Have you opened a bottle yet - what are you drinking?

[Cooki3Monst3r]

6:15pm on a Friday and I'm clocking off SAHM duties for a whole 40mins! YAY!

So while DH baths gets a soaking from the DCs I'm going to sit and relax get pissed over a glass bottle of something lovely.

I've got a bottle of The Doctor's Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from Waitrose, £8.99.

It's absolutley ruddy delicious, and quite frankly a bargain. Top quality, clean, crisp, zingy... kind of peppery like a ripe mango, in a good way. Let's just say it's slipping down nicely!!!

What's everyone else drinking tonight?

Cheers!! slurp slurp-

I've just had a teeny tiny gin & tonic, there will be more. no wine tonight though

I will look out for that though it sounds lovely

Verdichio leftover from Christmas. It's lovely dry but not too dry.

Benylin the sauvignon blanc sounds way more fun. Enjoy!

Coffee.

Campo Viejo Rioja it's 1 of only 2 wines in the world wine section in the supermarché !

Andre Goichot Fleurie. It's gorgeous.

lotta

I won't have it for another hour though. Have to finish work.

Pre-pub drink just poured, it's just a glass of merlot out of the resident box, so nothing special! Going out in a few mins for some beers & food, will probably have more wine later. Wine rack is full (24 bottles) so plenty of choice

I've got labyrinthitis & can't drink. Especially with the tablets I'm on. Wahhhhhhh!!!!

Lotsa - you starting on the hard stuff?!

It is really yummy. I don't drink much because basically I'm a fussy cow and sometimes I'd rather take my calories in chocolate form!

It's made by a lovely husband and wife team, John & Brigid Forrest. I love everything they make. Pinot noir, pinot Blanc, Riesling (especially this!), chardonnay. I've been drinking their wines for about 10 years. They're one of my favourite winemakers.

There is much screaming and shouting coming from upstairs. I think the bottle might be gone by the time DH is back!!!

Mmmm Fleurie....

We had a lovely bottle of pinotage last night, tonight I shall be mostly drinking cidre as it's curry night! Maybe a gin and tonic later, have a bottle of ophir and one of tanquary (sp?) 10, choices choices!

goes to happy place

Chateau lest age Simon haut-medoc 2011, very nice, picked it up in the supermarket

Think The Doctors is a Waitrose exclusive label. Others will have the same near as damn it thing under the label 'Forrest'.

Adnams Wines and probably Virgin Wines.

Aha! You called?
I also have a fleurie... but I am looking rather seriously at the bottle of veuve in my fridge.

A Kir Royale....utterly divine.

Just about to have a glass of white port with some cheese biscuits while I think about what to have for dinner.

Will look out for that wine Cooki

chin-chin

Will look for that in waitrose tomorrow.

Gin has to be Hendricks or if I'm pushed Whitley Neil's. Plymouth is ok and tanquery will do I'm not fussy

Catena Chardonnay (from Argentina) It's our stock white wine and the right combination of flavour and versatility.

I also had two glasses of pinio Grigio "blush" whilst taking the DCs and some friends out for tea at Zizzi's. Friday night is wine night, after all...

I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread. I'm doing Dry January and all this talk of lovely wines is torturing me

Roll on the first Friday in February!

No, of course not I have a box on the go but i have a bottle of Hardy's 60 reduced from £10 to £7 in Waitrose and will enjoy some of that with DH later I expect.

Just what the doctor ordered cooki enjoy

Drama! What are we doing in here? Excuse us, I'll get our coats...
