What's in your glass tonight?

[wisp]

Just had a 1/2 bottle of Elderberry port I found lurking in the fridge. I think I used it to top something else up a while ago, so it has been sitting there, oxidising a bit, ever since.

OK-ish at the moment, but needs a bit of ageing. Went down nicely with a bit of cheddar, some biscuits and some Nine Inch Nails

Elderberry ... port ... fridge?

I'm having a very nice bottle of commercial Pinot Noir tonight. I sold off part of my consulting business this last week and made a tidy profit, so naturally a little of it went toward wine.

Elderberry ... port ... fridge?

Yes, I had bottled some elderberry port some time ago, and this was left over. I popped in the fridge to keep it fresh for a couple of days, and then forgot about it.

Wine No.1 tonight.

My best plain Wine No.1 yet - the only bit I can't work out is WHY it is the best

argghhh .... i'm envious again.

but i do have in-law's bottle of fruit wine. wish i could remember the name, kit comes from denmark i think, constituent juices i think are apple,pear and grape. its nice light easy drinking. i imagine quite like a wine number 1 made with apple or pear. first flavour to hit is grassiness, followed by fruit, then it all goes quite and you want another glug.

I have had a similar surprise, a very nice pink wine from a friend, we were talking about this website and about the lighter drier wines that I found recipes for and she brought round a bottle of her mixed fruit juice rose', it is not quite dry but has a nice fresh taste that she attributes to "citric acid" and "tartaric acid" the one from grapes, I will ask for the recipe so that I can share it with you all, I think my taste for sweet wines may be changing, we drank the whole bottle and when Peter came home from darts he said we were rotten for not saving him a glass, he who had, had more than enough because he came home in a taxi and will have to get the bus in the morning to bring the car home!.

Retro!!! lol

[wisp]

Perhaps I should have said a couple of pints of mild and now supping a pint of bitter. Even though I do like a mild and bitter but my fave drink is brown bitter with Manns brown and a good bitter - Tetley's if it's not too cold .
