*Tonight only* I am drinking...

Jonny69 · 10-09-2008, 19:31

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?

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!

Jonny69 · 10-09-2008, 19:50

Never say that again in public unless you want to be 'mistaken' for a chav. If anyone asks you about wine in future, just say "it hardly registers on my palette" and look disinterested.

Does this mean you can unblock me on MSN now?

Hurrah for yellow tail!

I'm currently trying to kill my pain with Carlsberg seeing as Phil wouldn't make me a cocktail of all the alcohol we have in the house which was black sambuca, sambuca, vodka, archers, midori, and malibu.

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
