Wine: what's in your glass tonight ?

[Gaston]

I'm trying out Bastide de Garille - Cabardes. A fruity medium french red. Nice

Nothing now.

I think it was Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon. (Don't really know) Was red, anyway.

petit chablis

Ah like an old old friend we return once more to rioja

I do like Rioja, infact I have nothing against most reds. Olives are a handy right hand snack. Is the football finished ?

Asking the wrong people, oops, habit x

nope footer still going strong honk honk dear God that noise is annoying...when drinking mid week is it acceptable to start a second bottle? If (in my defence) we opened the first one last night. Or should I just move on to rum? Also just realised is Monday officially mid week yet or can I pretend it's just late Sunday drinking?

I did have a yellow thingy - v expensive that ILs bought us. But as a Pinot / Muscat lover it tasted of pure sugar to me and it looked like first morning wee.

Therefore i have "generously" given it to DH and i am on the Gin .

Second bottle acceptable, it is only Monday. Mondays have their own status, neither weekend nor mid week. Here's to Mondays ! Cheers ! x

some red bottle with an elephant on it. DH got it at the shops. usually selected based on my taste/his taste and desire to try something different. Today based on the first thing he got hold of i should think as in a hurry.

tastes nice enough, if not a bit heavy.

A New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Half price of course - Cheers!

Elephant... rings a bell.... hmmm. In a hurry to get back to the football no doubt. I like football, esp world cup but that crowd noise is not good this time round.

Half price, chin chin !

unfitmother - sainsburys? I do like the offers they do on NZ Marlborough sauvignon blanc, they did a fantastic one last week, meant to be for camping, drank it all that night (with help of DH of course ). Can't remember what one it was.

oooh an elephant! I'd buy that (saddo emoticon). Mondays are definitely still the weekend.

portblack you are the very definition of selfless and I applaud you

btw the footer must be ending soon DH has started talking about catching up with Doctor Who.

I too amd drinking Bastide..quite nice.I do like French wine and don't really buy any from further afield. Should try perhaps.

Pinot, my fave... yet weirdly from Hungary not Italy.... serves me right for getting it in Aldi. Skint. Obviously.

I only buy expensive wine, at Sainsburys but when it's half price!
Tell disaproving DH that it was a bargain.
I'm such a cheapskate I stock up when it's one I like, I have been known to buy a box.

yes they r in extra time, football nearly over. Best way of trying new wines is to source online the half price etc so to pay only a fiver or more for a tenner or more wine, especially if it is new to you. All good supermarks have deals, we know

Had a wine gift from Bulgaria and Hungary last month which was so very surprisingly nice. One was much better than other but can't remember which was which!

Drinking.............. ON A MONDAY, you naughty people.

I am seriously jealous as I am 9wks pg so abstening for a while

Chin chin enjoy

Sorry superwoman - congrats!

Wow Superwoman, you don't NEED to drink! Congrats & all the best x

Oh no, bottle finished. Was a good try though, dry(ish) French red, would be good with most foods or like me this evening, just olives, because I couldn't be arsed to cook!
Of course the kids had their meal at 4:30pm (they can't wait any longer) I think that's why actually, I can't eat at 4:30pm on Mondays ! Chin Chin !

Cabernet Sauvignon

rose ..........mmm but now its gone
