A good brunello is fabulous. The supermarket ones...not so much. I talk as if its a regular sup so I should point out this assessment is based on a handful of experiences in a lifetime lol.

This was an itch I just had to scratch. Got a bottle and had a couple of glasses with puttanesca this evening. Very nice. Drier than the southern Italians I normally drink. Reminds me a bit of Barolo.
 
It's the bad weather Joe.

I've got to pass the window to go into the hall so I'm 'rained off' so to speak.
 
Eee hope yous vino guzzlers are no sponsoring terrorism?....


Bizarre as it might sound, terrorism linked to one of France’s most famous rural industries is an abiding problem.

It is a perfect example of how extremely violent dissent is as integral to the Gallic psyche as all those other internationally famous icons, including vin rouge itself.

The violent history of France's wine 'terroirists'

French prosecutors have opened a criminal inquiry following a dramatic explosion in the southern city of Carcassonne this week. The ground floor of a government building used by civil servants was destroyed, as glass windows shattered into hundreds of jagged pieces, and shards of twisted metal...

another good Italian wine that’s regrettably hard to get in our supermarkets is Barbaresco. Same grape as Barolo I think. Developed a taste for in lake Garda one year.

I opened a box of Galadoro Reserva.

Probably a mistake.

But I'm no working in the morning!

If I wake up.....:lookaround:

Well after that Hibs performance today, my only advice to fellow Hibbies is start drinking. Heavily.
I admit I bought this purely for the label but having tanned half of it so far I can confirm that it is extremely moreish.

Lucky man. Love a good Ribera del Duero. 🍷🇪🇸
 
Just opened a bottle of Pepperbox Shiraz and have to say it’s rather good. It was given to me so don’t know how much or where to get it, but if you like a Shiraz you’ll like this one.
 
Just opened a bottle of Xinomavro Greek wine in honour of the Fudbo's opponents this evening. At least the wine is good...
