I might have to break out the Jeagermeister from the freezer tonight to help them sleep  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Funnily enough I tend to stick with Margaret River or Swan Valley (my local) wines in W.A.

I don't drink Red much but a great Cab Sav can be had in Tesco's if you what to try it. I just bought a case of 12 bottles to cellar for a few years.

2011 is the vintage to get if you can

EDIT: Just seen the current vintage on the website. 2007 is bloody awesome! I had an '07 last week and it is great to drink NOW!!!!

I was fortunate enough to spend a few years living in the Western Cape, where I became a professional red wine drinker. Many a time you would swerve from estate to estate sampling their wares around Paarl, Simondium, and Stellenbosch....even the crap bin-ends from KWV taste great, but my all time favourites would have to be something from either Ken Forrester or Plaisir de Merle. Neither of which you will ever see in the UK unless you import it.  Foraging near Gaydon....

A work colleague gave me two bottles of this that someone had given to her husband (they were not wine drinkers).
http://www.snooth.com/wine/brunello-riserva-soldera-1997-1/ Me and the wife had half a bottle with a Chinese take-away and left the rest too long so it was chucked. It wasn't anything special but you probably can't enjoy it with a take-away. When I looked it up and found the price I invited friends round to taste the other bottle. It was bloody awful. I have tasted one other so-called expensive bottle of wine. That was awful too. I came to the conclusion that I have a cheap palette when it comes to wine - thank God!  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Called in at Huntly on the way back to our caravan park (static not towed ) after doing a tour of the Glenfiddich distillery. Found out that it means 'valley of the deer.' They had a 50 year old single malt in the shop complete with a crystal decanter for £10,000

Naturally I ordered half a dozen  LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Can't even swollow coffee, my throat closes and refuses to open till I rinse my mouth out


Tea however, nice strong tea, like Assam  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Liqueur coffee is a favourite of mine to follow a meal whenever we eat out at a nice restaurant. Scotch naturally. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Surprised nobody has voted for white wine yet. I expected red to receive most votes but didn't expect zero for white LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

I can still recall the effect of sharing (& finishing) a bottle of Southern Comfort with a pal when we were both 17. I had to go to work the next morning, as a dogsbody at a local hairdresser (Peter Collinge, since you ask...) and was in constant danger of puking over the head of some poor wretch having their hair washed. My pal, Sean, breezed past about 10:00 seemingly unaffected...

To this day (40 years on) I can't even imagine Southern Comfort without gagging...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...
