nice

Re: My Wine Blog
 

I'm waiting for Stimpee to start a beer-blog

Re: My Wine Blog
 

Nice blog! I know a bit about wine, but this is really useful. I will be looking for some of the recommendation on this side of the pond - especially when I go to France in August!

(Now sipping a cheapo Gallo rose, but I like it anyway ;) )

Re: My Wine Blog
 

gallo? as in e and j gallo? shame on you.

Re: My Wine Blog
 

The White Grenache isn't all that bad, especially when it is on a cheapie at the local supermarket right now :)

I refuse to pay five or six quid or more for a mere bottle of Cotes de Rhones that I know I will be able to pick up for 3 euros in 6 weeks' time. A fiver, or 8 euros, would buy me a delicious Cotes de Blaye, or even a passable St Emilion in France. It just irks me. ;)

Re: My Wine Blog
 

If i was sober enough to remember or motivated. at least i dont spit my beer out into a bucket.

Re: My Wine Blog
 

I've been to tons of winery tastings and never spit into a bucket. But that's because I'm a man.

Re: My Wine Blog
 

you could do a 'pissed-o-meter' for various brews with comments on grade of hangover, staggerness, taste, % alcohol etc......would be fun but i can never remember what i've drank or for how long:D
typical saturday conversation goes " were you out friday? - " yes mate, was a good one"
"What time did you get out the pub" - "can't remember, ask lecky/prof/Les/etc"
" They don't know either" - " OK i'll ask mouse" (landlord)
" what time did we leave on friday?" - " huh! you drunken bastards! i had to throw you out for smoking in the pub"
:o that was this weekend, had a few tequila's late on:o

Re: My Wine Blog
 

but it always gets empty too quick and i have to top it up!
this week i have got New Zealand Marlborough saivignon blanc
and an italian primativo that i can't remember the name. - they are both lovely!
I like italian wines a lot recently..........

Re: My Wine Blog
 

mmmm italian wines

Re: My Wine Blog
 

Coolio, Prof.!
So, i worked for 4 summers in NW Argentina, around Mendoza and San Juan, where many merlots are born. Funny thing is, non-Argentines often rave about these wines, while the natives often claim they're vinegar piss.
Guess it's the "Grass is always greener" principle.

That said, i enjoy a good Chilean or Argentine red. Went to grad school in upstate NY, where the whites and dessert wines were grown, but not really my thing. ;)

Re: My Wine Blog
 

...the forums are rog's wino blog at times...


(hmmm; excellent gigondas last night - very rich - and half-price!)

Re: My Wine Blog
 

there is that subtle fine line that separates the wine blog from the wino blog:D:D

Re: My Wine Blog
 

Can I punch you?

Re: My Wine Blog
 

yeah. complete sentences.

Re: My Wine Blog
 

yeah; the one you cross when you've finished the wine and turn to whatever comes to hand :D:D:eek::eek:

Re: My Wine Blog
