Andydee Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I saw that this aft but decided against red for tonight, let me know how it is. Did you get any? Called in just now and there was only 1 bottle left!! Spider, shitloads of Malbec in though. Quote
Winchester White Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 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. Quote
miamiwhite Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 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 Quote
Traf Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Australian Merlot last neet, not too bad either. Not my choice, but it was free and as a result, excellent value for money. Quote
Guest Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 time to stock up http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-24746539 Quote
no balls Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 We sup 5% of the world's wine? Fucking hell, that's a fair bit is that Quote
superjohnmcginlay Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I'm supping a nice red now Cheers Quote
L/H White Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 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? Quote

Andydee Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Aldi have a nice rioja reserva in at the moment. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) 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, 2013 by Youri McAnespie Quote
no balls Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 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 Quote
Andydee Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 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!

stevieb Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 20% off Chateauneuf for me this weekend again (as well as owt else int coop). Gonna stockpile a few bottles for Christmas I reckon. Quote
Andydee Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 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. Quote
Pablo Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Was drinking shite Shiraz all weekend, was rank. Need some good stuff to get rid of the taste. Quote
Winchester White Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 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! Quote
bgoefc Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 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 Quote
Bigtoe Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 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. Quote
zurichwhite Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Viking, a Cab Shiraz from Barossa Valley any year from 2000-2004 for around 20 notes online is well worth it for special occasions Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) 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, 2013 by Youri McAnespie Quote
Guest Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 had some tasteless merlot last night nothing worse than poor red wine Quote
