I'm on my second bottle of Malbec , Rutini (Mendoza) 2014
I'm trying to work out this seasons mental results....maybe a 3rd bottle of red will give me some answers.[/quote]
Nah, stick to the good stuff.
Radeberger Pils "King Friedrich August III von Sachsen" - legacy for the common man . 80 cents a half litre . North Germany's finest .[/quote]
I never had you down as a peasant Mr Z !! 80 cents a fuckign half litre ??
Mine are 50$ US a bottle and the taste goes with the price.
I'm in shock and you obviously need educating on fine red wine - I will gladly join you next year and bring along a bottle.
Peasant ? Moi ?
Give me a Holts or a Marstons Pedigree over a Chateauneuf de Pape any day.
The only benefit to the C de pape is the bottle's use in hand to hand combat - should it be necessary.
Nice Italian wines being produced near Livorno - thoroughly recommend a stay . you will gain weight.
