What's in your glass?

Was at a wine tasting today for my upcoming (maybe) job. Took home a half bottle of Cotes du Rhone, Vouvray and Picpoul de Pinet. Vouvray is gone, Picpoul de Pinet is going. I'm making a firm statement now that Cotes du Rhone will NOT be drunk as well...

:hmm::hmm::hmm:

Anyway, since we're talking Carlsberg spesh, on two occasions I had middle-aged gentleman (possibly both from the West Country now I think about it) who came into my old work (a city centre offie) specifically to buy a can. Apparently the stuff up here is totally different to what you get down south. In a good way.

Anyone able to confirm/deny?

I don't know about that, but in France it is sold as something like 'Carlsberg Gold'.

Me and an ex-boyfriend sank about six pints of the stuff in a bar in Calais after a Eurotunnel journey, before realising it was rebranded spesh. :eek:

We went back to our hotel room, had a spliff, and died for about the next fifteen hours. :oops:

I think it was probably the most out of it I've ever been. :oops:

It's things like that that make me proud of the motherland.

Anyway, Cotes du Rhone has now been replaced by

i'm desperately trying to grow mint for summer drinking purposes but the slugs have it all. last chance 10p at the school fete for a bunch someone's dug out of their garden :) fingers crossed it'll keep me in mojitos all summer.
.

It does well in pots and won't take over your garden and will be harder for slugs to get to :)

today i'm drinking elderflower and lime. veh nice it is too.
 
I've only got two beers and dinner to eat later.
The question is shall I be rash and open the bottle of Champagne that's lovely and cold and inviting?
 
Wakefield Clare Valley Aussie Riesling 2001 Vintage

Has been sitting forgotten in back of a cupboard for so long I assumed it must be undrinkable - but it is absolutely glorious.

Served up with a herb omelette, which sadly did not reach Elizabeth David's standards.
