What's in your glass tonight?

[goldseal]

Premier Inn tea. Again

[ms67]

elderflower (this year's) and a spanish white from M&S (two dine for a tenner deal) called raso de la cruz (2008) described with terms like thyme and apricot, good with garlic prawns and fish based tapas (we had moroccan fish stew). If i was unbiased then i would say the two wines are different but equal. but ofc i'm biased and so i say the nose on the elderflower is just such a joy and delight that its no competition! unbiased ... the nose on the spanish isnt anything at all special, no thyme or apricot anyway, but if i made it then i would be delighted ofc!

Sangiovese, from Grapefest 2008, left over from bottling. Unfortunately it has a full dose of sulphite, so it better sit on the side for a while

Modified Fruity Karl, again leftover from bottling.

McGuigan Shiraz 2006 (part of one of those supermarket - tesco? - 2 dine in for £10 deals). Very yummy and surprised it was part of the package. There's another one in the cupboard too

i wonder how long it'll be until i have homebrew that is aged this much

A glass of Selection Ltd Edition Alsation Riesling, left over from bottling.

A bottle of Cava - cheap but excellent value for money.

A couple of glasco White Port - amazingly similar to Christmas Pudding wine.

[goldseal]

I'm worried - just me drinking again

Yet another glass of leftover Alsation riesling

A couple of glasses of WinExpert riesling icewine, left over from bottling. Really intense, clean taste.

Tonight, it's "4 fingers" of Tennessee Sour Mash, with a lump of preserved ginger and a dessert spoon of the preserving syrup.

A sort of "poor man's" Whiskey Mac.

Ok, a "scrapping around in the bottom of the cupboard" Whiskey Mac

An awful turbo cider with cloves and cinnamon which hasn't worked out exactly as planned.

Hey ho...

I have milk in my glass tonight because I had too much wine last night.

if you'd gone for "hair of the dog" the morning after, then............

"They" say it doesn't work, but it always has for me.....

Barolo+ (Beaverdale kit + grape skins). Luvverley

[kampervan]

wine no 1 nearly a year old but too much alcohol tastes hot

[goldseal]

How about knocking up a lower alcohol batch and mixing?

followed by:

a glass of Tesco White Port

a bottle of Beaverdale California White ( a nice, pleasant, uncomplicated drink)

and then I sent Mrs. G out for a bottle of Raspeberry Merlot but, being a *wit, she opened a bottle of Merlot Rosé, bottled a mere week ago. It should be bottle-shocked, but if it is, it is going to be one heck of a drink . Shame there are only 5 bottles left now

[spritzer]

A glass or two, from the bargain chardonnay batch, Heron Bay, Micro brewery. Wish I had bought more
Very lovely
