What's in your glass tonight?

[Duffbeer]

the wine?
the Pasty?
or the Chalk?

The chalk of course, and it leaves a residue in the mouth
Though with the wine a couple of tspoons of sugar in the bottle sorted it, shook the bottle to dissolve the sugar and guess what....



Pffffffftttttttttt co2 and plenty of it, it's now quite pleasant

a work colleague traded me a couple of bottles of Ridge Zinfandel for two of my homemades (sucker! ). One of them will definitely be in my glass tonight.

he will be back for more that's for sure

See I knew you were a secret fish finger muncher, I hope they were the captains I must check on the Cili, last taster was reasonable.

Although not aged at all, besides 6 weeks bulk ageing, I couldn't resist opening a bottle of my new nettle wine and sharing it with a friend. Tasted a tad 'green' when really cold, but improved as it acclimatised - no, not with sips .

Turning Leaf 2008 Zinfandel tonight, £7.15 from Morrisons. Never had Zin' before except as part of a blend and have been meaning to try some ever since I watched Oz Clark and James May raving about it on TV. It's massively fruity in a sort of dark berry way and reminds me of Pinot Noir. Would I buy this again? Hell yes!!!

[spritzer]

I lurrrrve Zin and I do like that one

Tonight, I have a tropical apple....

Its ok....
But thats it..... OK.
I think its a tad too sweet for a white wine for me to be honest.

Wanna swap Richard ??

Ltd Edition Maipo valley carmenere/cabernet Sauvignon (2006)

Stunning!

Treating myself as I finished work on the bathroom today.

Remind me to bring you a bottle of Ridge or Turley Zin when I come to visit. Both are good mountain-grown Cali wines guaranteed to put hair on your chest..

Don't yet know what will be in my glass tonight. We're going out to a Latin/Caribbean restaurant, so I'm thinking it will some sort of cerveza.

2008 rosehip (with star anise), very much better than 6 months ago (tho the cork had a little mould on the outside and looked like it had leaked a drop or two - literally - in that time). doing the aging thing well, about another 10 bottles hidden away

No cerveza tonight. They actually had a nice selection of Latin style wines, so we started with a Tannat from Argentina, then the house sangria (which was excellent and not overly sweet). After dinner we ordered a bottle of Bodega Eguren Tempranillo from Spain.

Oh... and the food was pretty good, too.

Just finished a day in the winery and racked 67 gallons of wine....there was a gallon of 2008 Ciliegiolo left over so brought it up to the house for bottling, just poured myself a glass...........WOW
