I'm lucky to have a sister who's a wine rep so she brings free samples!!!!!

One of my favourites is the Chilean Campo Viejo Rioja

ALTHOUGH.... she has had some sh!tty news, there are currently 5 reps in the North East and every other region has 4.
The Management have decided that there should be 4 in the North East so they'll all have to re-apply! 5 people for 4 jobs.

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.

Ahh, but there's nothing nicer than a cool glass of Rose, sitting with friends in a garden, when the sun is shining.....just missing the sun at the moment.

I like tea too!!! I don't drink quite as much as you do, but I'm def a bit of a chain tea drinker! It used to be black coffee (which I only have now when I get to work after a really late night) so I consider tea a bit healthier. PG Tips mainly and a nice (Twinings) Earl Grey in the afternoon.

The good news is tea is very high in fluoride too! keeps the dentist at bay!

Lucky you!!!

Your poor Sis though, do you think she's in with a good chance of keeping the post? What happens if she doesn't, surely they can't just fire the remaining person?

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.....

Wow, thats a long time, wouldnt have no worries in our house . I thought Shateau Neuf Du Pap was a wind up nut obviously its not!!

Really?!?!? I went to the dentist a few months ago for the first time in about 9 years (am a naughty girl I know) and there's nothing wrong with my teeth so maybe that's why! She told me to start flossing though which I hate the thought of so haven't started yet (I did buy the floss in Boots thou)
