What are you drinking tonight?

[backwoodsman]

Good job the local wine merchant does delivery...

Just opened a case of South African Cape Leonard merlot - slipping down rather nicely.

A very smooth glass of Portuguese red, quickly discovering they produce some very underrated wines.

What’s it called Gordon ?

It's Gala do Rabo from the Lisboa region. Check out anything made from the touriga nacional grape, superb ?

Good quality at very reasonable prices??

Yep, wish I'd been a bit more adventurous years ago and tried different regions ?

 

[BrianM]

Sainsburys Glenridge Point NZ Marlborough Sauv Blanc.

Maybe not top of the range, but as a midweek (is it midweek? ?) tipple for 6 quid a bottle I like it.

The New Zealand whites are tremendous in my opinion ??

It’s too easy to stick to the big names.

A great red for accompanying a steak is Priorat from Spain.
Doesn’t normally cost too much but is worth a try.
Any Sainsbury’s taste the difference wines tends to be decent, especially when they have an offer on.

This one is proper delish, takes me back.
The pints of gose down under were roughly £10 a pint but everything is pricey out there. You get used to it after the initial wtf ?

My lass just doesn’t ask what my online orders cost anymore. She knows it’s a lot but if she doesn’t know she can’t get sad about it. ?

Yum, some of these cheaper bottles of NZ sauv b from the supermarkets can be a really nice drop, I did get oyster bay earlier though because it was on offer. Seemed rude not to ?

Had a couple of glasses of Estrella earlier. Now its a large glass of Soberano brandy with cheese and onion crisps.

Every night is a Saturday during lockdown ?

 

[USER1999]

Some Peroni, some NZ Sauvignon, some Chilean red plonk, some Ethiopean coffee, and now some orange squash before bed.

i fancy a bottle of XO, but baulk at the price - especially in these circumstances. Anyone lile their cognacs? and best place to get them?

Berry Bros & Rudd, wine merchants.
Their own brand cognacs are very good
