What's in your glass tonight?

[goldseal]

A really disappointing, quite expensive, commercial Rioja - I'm still convinced someone emptied the good stuff out and filled it with Beaverdale Barolo.

Followed by a Grapefest 2010 Monte/Merlot Rosé - pretty good, even though I say so myself

[koomber]

Didn't drink it tonight, but polished off all of the varied Rose wines I stole from Rich. Exceptionally pleasant!

Turning Leaf 2009 Pinot Noir - nice!

[Rich]

Beer tonight for me, Koomber is picking me up shortly and we're off to Aberdeen beer festival. Yippee.

[SiSandrine]

Very jealous.

Orkney - Corncake (smelled like tablet/fudge)
Fallen Angel - Angry Ox (I think it was off)
Harvieston - Shenanigans (Dark Lager. Nice)

Williams Brothers - Ebulum (Fantastic)
Williams Brothers - Joker IPA (Delish)
Box Steam - Steam Porter (Alright)
Burnside - Golden X (Nice)
Scottish Borders - Game Bird (Best of the fest so far)

Waggle dance...totally scrumptious, and going down well after slaving over a boiler all afternoon

[goldseal]

A grapefest 2010 montepulciano rose. Not bad.

[lockwood1956]

Followed by....

Ginger and lemon tea bag wine (spritzers recipe)...very nice indeed

[waggoner]

No1 wine with gooseberry juice,,my last bottle!! will have to make some more now.

[NorthernWiner]

Red Hook Long Hammer IPA tonight. A very floral smelling beer. I like it.

[goldseal]

Fired up the BBQ this evening - home-made bread, marinated pork, burgers and salad, along with a Grapefest 2009 Ciliegiolo.

EDIT - followed by a Badger Golden Champion. I really like this beer, and have already found a clone recipe - hoopefully it'll scale down to work OK using the BIAB method

San miguel followed by old speckled hen and now a bottle of magners cider.

Can I just ask, am I the only one that thinks magners is a very lifeless and plain cider. I'm really un-impressed by it. Must be the magners.

followed by a Badger Golden Champion. I really like this beer, and have already found a clone recipe -

I've been looking for a clone recipe, care to share...I have found a couple of clone recipe overe at Jims, but they dont look like they will impart the peach aroma and flavour. I love this beer

I have attempted a clone of my own involving apricot jam and will also have late elderflower addition, and perhaps a little lime zest...i "might" work
