I like Peter Vella have you ever had it? Its a californian box wine but i dont think you can get it over here.

No I've not had that, obviously I need a holiday to California then!

I like Gallo White Grenache to drink at home and with friends. I went to South of France at end July and we went to Chateauneuf de Pap for wine tasting. I got 2 bootles of a Chotes du Rhone rose and two bootles of Chateauneuf white (which didn't know they did) that I have to keep for 2-5 years to drink.

One guy we were with bought a bottle of Chateauneuf Red for 50 Euros :eek: and has to keep it for 20 years.....he'll be 50 (middle aged) when he can open it! He spent about 300 Euros in total on wine that day! Apparently he rents part of a wine cellar somewhere in London to store the expensive stuff.

He actually has my 4 bottles of wine at the moment as he drove there/back so we all gave him our stuff to bring back. I must remind him.....

we're big Gallo brother fans here Boris... cheap n cheerful! Snaggles was considering leaving Stu for Ernest, or was it Julio, i can't remember....

I like a dryish rose, but i always buy them and find them too sweet. I try to remember what it was and not to buy it again, but end up getting it again!

Of course i do drink them, as waste not want not! but really i should just stick to white, as it's easy to pick a dry one of those......

Actually the White Grenache I like is the Ernest and Julio one not the Gallo. Easy to drink stuff!!! Yum :beer:
I had a glass of a Spanish one (can't remember what it was) on Wednesday at my managers leaving drinks for her Mat Leave and it was a bit like vinegar so we switched to Champagne!!!! LOL

All this talk of wine is making me really want a drink. Will cranberry juice and lemonade look the part of a nice sparkling rose until I'm able to drink once again?:o

usually read and then post, but just a quick post first to say hi - my sister is on her way and is due any time now to stay the weekend.

We're going for a few sherbets tonight - first night for me since May!!

I've gone right off wine recently, must be a summer thing - but then again I'm a tea fiend. Cut me and I'll squirt Typhoo. I get through 15-20 cups a day, so no room for wine.
