*Tonight only* I am drinking...
I have a bottle of Yellow Tail shiraz from Sainsburys, currently with a few quid off down to £4.49 which isn't a bad price. Had it before. It's a shiraz which is a full bodied red with a bit of sweetness. This one has good full bodied taste, not too much acid with a bit of sweet spice, dark fruity taste and a good strong 13.5% alcohol hit and a little tanin at the end. This would make a good starter wine if you want to try a red.
I've had a couple of glasses already, hic , a splash in my onion gravy with my bangers and mash and it's starting to feel like Christmas. Does anyone want to join me for a tipple?

Assuming you're talking about John Smith's cask then it's OK but any other kind of JS is rubbish. 'Smooth flow', give me a break. 'Smooth flow' = gas filled and awful tasting. The cask stuff is reasonable but there are far better out there.
And there are many, many better wines better than smiths. I think I shall crack open a bottle and join you, Jonny. Not sure yet, I shall investigate the cellar

Jonny!! You're the kentish guy I spoke to about a bikeshow in Gravesend (or something along those lines)... I'm sure it was you
Don't quote me on this, it was probably over a year ago now!
