September 1, 201312 yr Did you get any? Called in just now and there was only 1 bottle left!! Spider, shitloads of Malbec in though. Bugger, no. Just got back from The Night Garden Live at the Trafford Centre - oh the joys! I might pop to the bottom one later to see if they have some in.
September 1, 201312 yr got given a couple of reds today as a thank you for a job very well done. the bottles are decent tackle 1 - Vinalaba reserva Malbec 2011,Mendoza,Argentina - 14.5% 2 - Ravenswood,Lodi Zinfandel 2009 California - 15% Excellent tipple,but knocking my socks off,If i don't make it through the night it's been a pleasure
September 2, 201312 yr Australian Merlot last neet, not too bad either. Not my choice, but it was free and as a result, excellent value for money.
October 30, 201312 yr I've never really bothered with Red Until I went Portugal a few weeks ago, ended up having a glass with my tea every night Can anyone recommend a cheapish, decent smooth red wine?

October 30, 201312 yr Malbec from Aldi would be a good start There's 2 there. Try the dearer Argentinian one Fuck the politics, this is wine!

October 30, 201312 yr Last time I pissed my trousers I'd been sampling a nice Rioja - there's a good wine stall/bar attached to a Market in Madrid that does dear stuff by the glass...Anyhow I had these jeans on that the zip had bust on - I'd improvised a fix out and about with a bit of a keyring, was dying for a piss and headed down a back alley, couldn't get the zip open in time and pissed mi pants... I was very, very drunk. Edited October 31, 201312 yr by Youri McAnespie
October 31, 201312 yr Aldi have a nice rioja reserva in at the moment. Tried that and wouldn't recommend it as an easy starter. Far too oaky IMO
October 31, 201312 yr Tried that and wouldn't recommend it as an easy starter. Far too oaky IMO Depends what he's been drinking in portugal, some of the reds from the north can be full bodied and fruity with vanilla and oak . I'm assuming he's not been hitting the Mateus Rose!
October 31, 201312 yr 20% off Chateauneuf for me this weekend again (as well as owt else int coop). Gonna stockpile a few bottles for Christmas I reckon.
November 5, 201312 yr Bottle of Muriel Rioja in the Dee household. On offer at Aggy Co-op. This 2008 reserva is on offer in H-town co-op now so may be in Aggy as well. Winchester White get yersel down pronto.
November 5, 201312 yr Was drinking shite Shiraz all weekend, was rank. Need some good stuff to get rid of the taste.
November 5, 201312 yr This 2008 reserva is on offer in H-town co-op now so may be in Aggy as well. Winchester White get yersel down pronto. Nice one, I shall have a wander shortly!
November 5, 201312 yr Good deal at Morrisons at the moment, Wolf Bass Shiraz down from £7.99 to £5.99 and another 25% off if you buy a case of 6. Maximum 6 cases per person. Equates to £4.49 per bottle. Bought my full quota this weekend and used me neighbours 10% staff discount card thus bring it down to £4.02 when paying with me 0.5% off Asda credit card. Really smooth decent red good for quaffing. Head was sore after sinking 3 whilst watching 3 episodes of Breaking Bad on Sunday evening
November 5, 201312 yr Vinsobres 2011, a really nice silver medal red is in asda for 6 quid down from 10.50. Just picked a bottle up from middlebrook. Not normally a fan of French wines but this is a cracker.
November 5, 201312 yr Viking, a Cab Shiraz from Barossa Valley any year from 2000-2004 for around 20 notes online is well worth it for special occasions
November 6, 201312 yr At Sainsburys - McGuigan Shiraz £4.50 and Merlot was £5.20 (I think) - almost half price and there's loads as of this Afternoon - boxes of six up near the Butcher counter (in Bolton town centre). They're a knockout!*. http://www.wine-searcher.com/wine-284508-2012-mcguigan-estate-shiraz-south-eastern-australia * Or, at the very least, won't blind you. Edit: That's not some sick reference to Young Ali BTW. Edited November 6, 201312 yr by Youri McAnespie
