Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc.....

...hardly ever see the stuff, delicious though it is.

....and then it turns up somewhere unexpected.

CHAVSDA

...a whole rack full of the stuff. Spotted by the Feral Urchin, with untold glee. After some jumping on the spot and clapping (by me) ten bottles were selected. These were conveyed (six bottles in my basket, plus one hand-held per urchin) to the '20 items or less' self service checkout. There a bemused operative confirmed that I was indeed over 18, though possibly certifiable.

(as an aside, my Asperger's 11 year old pointed out that the sign should read '20 items or fewer'. I was so proud I could have wept...)

..so beware. For the next few weeks incomprehensible and/or inappropriate posts from me are likely to appear at about, say, 11pm.

...and no. I haven't opened a bottle yet...

OOH, were they a good price?
And when is the party?

snoringnightmare · 21/01/2009 17:38

Oooh love Cloudy Bay. We have to go to a wine merchant for ours though. No Asda near here. Enjoy!

squeaver · 21/01/2009 17:38

Curses! Not an Asda for miles around here.

How much is it now and normally. Have never heard of it but am very partial to a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc.

McBolshy · 21/01/2009 17:45

Am v. v.

retiredgoth2 · 21/01/2009 17:56

...'tis expensive stuff.

Normally about £17 a bottle, when you can find it. £13 in CHAVSDA, still expensive but it will be made to last a LONG time.....

WHat!!!! £17 for a bottle of wine. Ye Gods.

Mooseheart · 21/01/2009 18:01

oh oh oh which Asda was it in? Was it in Bristol? Am going in tomorrow. Could quite happily to a detour in the name of my favourite tipple.

Funnily enough, I stumbled across a shelf full in Tesco's on Golden Hill once. It was an older vintage though and slightly past its best, but still bloody lovely though...

Mooseheart · 21/01/2009 18:02

Excuse typos... was stumbling across the keys in my excitement...

cornsilk · 21/01/2009 18:03

Anyone got a discount code for asda online then?

retiredgoth2 · 21/01/2009 18:05

....Bristle indeed.

Longwell Green CHAVSDA.

Beware of going there on a Thursday, though. It's pension day and they ship OAPs in by the thousand on free buses. You can barely move for tartan trollies on wheels...

Ok, thanks rg2! Will have to grit my teeth and prepare for a slow crawl round with an impatient three yr old. Heaven.

broguemum · 21/01/2009 18:31

almost worth emigrating for!

PheasantPlucker · 21/01/2009 18:34

I had an email from Majestic Wine saying thry currently have it on offer. Tis tempting to buy about 8 cases.....

Not as nice as the Cloudy bay Chardonnay though...

Racers · 22/01/2009 10:58

You're kidding? £13? We thought £15 at Booths was good - it (the SB) doesn't even get put on the shelves there as many of us are on a 'list' and they get given only one case

Pride before a fall, our ASDA (online) doesn't have it

They have it on special at Majestic wine at the moment - works out at £16/bottle. Place your ordewrs now because limited stoick due in imminently.

Love, love, love Cloudy Bay. It is responsible for DS

wingandprayer · 22/01/2009 11:25

Jesus sorry about that last message- you would swear I had started on it already...

Carmenere · 22/01/2009 11:27

It is worth noting that Asda also have an Italian Primitivo in their Extra Special range that has won loads of awards and is on £4!!! I had it the other day and it is SUPER value. Really juicy and lots of body, tastes much more expensive.

PheasantPlucker · 22/01/2009 13:23

There is even a sign saying Cloudy Bay is on offer at the groty little offy underneath our local theatre.

There must be a sudden lake of the stuff.

PheasantPlucker · 22/01/2009 13:25

'grotty' - sorry
