What are you drinking tonight?

After navigating my way thru' the worlds biggest car park...
I need some chilling...
Spanish night tonight so some well chilled Estrella to start...
White Rioja with the meal...
And, I might be tempted to finish with something a bit stronger later...
 
Just opened a bottle of Shiraz to slurp whilst watching Sports Aid, come on England 😎
 
Took the wee woman out for a late lunch at an Italian restaurant in The Oracle, and we are now chugging down a second bottle of Chardonnay at home on a beautifully balmy early Summer's evening.

Memories of yesterday's horrendous 23 points in the President's Trophy being nicely blunted by what Basil Fawlty might've called "The boudoir of the grape"
 
Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta 2009
A beautiful Brunello Di Montalcino

Nothing beats a Tuscan red wine with roasted lamb shoulder. Love my lovely lady!

Enjoy your drinks tonights folks
 
Got some cans of beer from Vocation brewery from Tescos and they are lovely. The Life and Death is particularly nice but all are great. 4 for 6 quid in my local tescos so if you like IPAs then I'd give them a try.

Good call. Some have said they've sold out by selling to Tesco but anything that helps point people towards good beer and not the bland stuff that currently fills shelves in supermarkets is a good thing.

Too right, it is a wonderful thing when a small ish independent brewery gets their beers into the major supermarkets. As as you say, better beer on offer plus I imagine it secures the jobs of their workforce as well.

not necessarily.

one of the local small independents around here got into Tesco. had to expand and invest to meet there supplier criteria, cash flow probs and have now gone under. maybe more to it than that but as reported by the P&J
 
Whisky tasting for me this evening. Get in! :)

  • Inchmurrin – 18 Years Old

  • Glen Scotia – Double Cask

Tonight I shall be having an Old Dubh 18 by Harviestoun which is an 8% dark ale/stout which has been aged in whiskey barrels that previously housed its contents for 18 years. It should be divine. I had the 12 and 16 year versions at the weekend and they were both delicious.

I hate Tescos but I'd like to try these, can you buy them individually or are they packed in 4's? Been on the brewery online site but to get them down to £3.50 p/tin I've got to buy 2 of each (8) and I may not like some of them!
Ideally want to buy 1 of each as testers then buy in bulk once I know which I prefer.

You'll find plenty of them in craft beer bars/shops if you can't get to Tesco. They're available individually in Tesco though.
