What's in your glass?

2013 Rioja Cepa leprel ....£3.99 from lidl.
Blimey.... a very enjoyable bottle from start to a very fast finish ..

Got to get more ...heh ...Mondays eh ?
 
Having become somewhat "hooked" on Aldi's very drinkable blended French pinot noir for most of the year, I'm tentatively trying to use up some of my stash of the same blender's Malbec.
It's more acidic, so definitely needs slightly fatty food to work with.
Not quite so much fruit, but day two and a delicate floral note has emerged from the acidity.
 
Shiraz-Cabernet. Very pleasant.

Next will be a Cardhu 12yr old single malt for a nightcap. Fiery liquid toffee.
 
Nice glass of Shiraz at the moment - might need to crack another bottle when the missus gets home cos this one is nearing completion.
 
Small glass of Aldis Pinot ! Fancy a lot more but got to pick grandson up later, will give it some stick later
 
Brew by numbers 01/07 Saison Nelson Sauvin (a beer in case you didn't know). Not that great to be honest, really aggressively hoppy.
 
Zalze Shiraz Grenache Viognier. Seems like someone bought a bargain bin assortment of grapes and made a wine :)
 
Bathtub Gin, Navy Strength
Not sure what to do with it, tbh - I normally make a fiendish Martini with nice gin, but it's too strong and 'warming' for a chilly drink. Seems a shame to dilute it with tonic. Might just drink it neat :D
 
Back on the Aldi blended pinot noir - since summer has returned for a few days.
I even grabbed two bottles of Doom Bar earlier, but I don't know when I'll actually find the right moment.
(two days per bottle - with beer not keeping as well as wine)
 
Just had a brewdog punk IPA.

I *really* feel like drinking about five or six more, but not sure it's a good idea.

Just one to start, and we'll see how it goes.
