Wine

Usually go for a Pinot Noir or Malbec when it comes to red, Pinot Grigio when it comes to white. Never really been able to get into rosé.
 
I can’t believe the price of a glass of wine - let alone a bottle - outside of Wetherspoons or Spain.
And there really aren’t any crap wines that taste like vinegar anymore.
It’s a money making racket - end of.
 
Ménage a trois (a California red blend) is our favorite wine to keep in the house for casual drinking. It’s a blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon and goes down very, very easy!
 
Nice references to Barolo. Me and the missus have a bottle once a year, Christmas Eve when everything is done. And then we usually end up opening the second one reserved for NYE.

Chianti or Rioja, which will be tonight’s choices when I’m trying to persuade her that it’s a good idea to pay for the boxing.

Aldi have just got their Barolo back in for Xmas, think it’s about £18.

If you go Costco their one is quite nice too, about £18 as well.

Laithwaites have some incredible wine, and at great prices, have used them for over 20 years.

And me. The problem is, my "wine advisor" is like the devil on my shoulder tempting me into buying more wine before my existing cellar is empty.

I'm a big fan of Primitivo but any black red tends to appeal. I'm currently drinking a fascinating Chasm de Cabrespine Minervois 2019 which appealed to me on its description;

"Chasm de Cabrespine 2019 is a bold, spiced Minervois made from handpicked parcels of Syrah and Grenache. First aged in clay amphorae for deep, brooding flavour. Then bottles are left to rest in the most perfect ageing conditions imaginable. No light, perfect humidity and pressure. We call it extreme cellaring. It took four hours to retrieve a single bottle for tasting. But what emerged was something extraordinary: a rich, spiced southern French red with six years maturity delivering lovely spice and a long complex finish"

I'm a sucker for the blurb !!
