What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[William the White]

Point of order here. Some of the very best wines in the world are white. Its just personal preference. From a personal point of view, most of my favourite wines are white.

Share the news! i'd like to discover a quality white or two.

Try a white Rioja... Belting.

Also, Chablis which was mentioned earlier, Viognier, Verdelho.

Falanghina is pretty good too..

Never quite convinced by white Rioja, the others, however are often on the shopping list. Very quaffable, just not as interesting as decent reds. Don't know Falanghina - I love this site.

Falanghina is only grown where there is Volcanic soil. It mainly come from Sicily (i think)

And if you like that, Greco Di Tufo's not half bad too - comes from the same volcanic soils of Italy. Some of the Orvieto Classico's I've had are pretty good as well. (A stunning little town if you're in the vicinty - stuck on a tufa outcrop if I recall.)

I'm scoofing down a Barbera at the moment - nowt spesh but at a tenner for 3 bottles you can't sniff. It went well enough with roast chicken thighs and all that malarkey.

This thread has got my mouth watering, so I'm gonna open the Sancerre that been patiently waiting in the rack

Pricey, but I've had this recommended by my gaffer. He says it's the best bottle of wine you can wish to have on your dinner table if you're eating seafod.

He has dessert wine with prawns???

[Lord Kangana]

Its worth a go William. Though as I've said before, I'm not that convinced by Tesco's wine selection, so if it isn't that good, don't lose heart with the style.

Just been out for birthday lunchtime drinks for a friend of mine at Hornchurch Wetherspoons - and they had "Churchyard Bob" (Warwickshire Beer Company) on tap - simply magnificent - you won't be disappointed!

Medium rare steak, with mushrooms, but mainly my first stray away from Aunt Bessies roast potatoes into home made ones. Roasted in butter and olive oil with a touch of thyme. Washed down with a Tesco Chianti. Fooking lovely.

Decided to treat myself after my run in with those kind people who relieve you of your phone and leave you with the most effeminate black eye that makes you look like Adam Ant was disturbed halfway through his make-up.

Walking in a Coyle wonderland, I'm having Dover Sole with moules a la Normande and pommes cocotte, and a nice Ugni Blanc-Colomabard vin de pays des Cotes de Gascogne.

I'm saving the Champagne for Wednesday night.

[boltonboris]

Had an early tea as I have a match tonight, Scallops, Salsa, and a bit of Cous-cous with chillis, onions and mushrooms in it... Delicious, gutted I couldn't have a glass of wine to was it down with!

[William the White]

came home knackered.

partner and daughter out.

Couldn't be arsed making food.

had a frozen cumberland pie from morrisons.

it was vile.

Wensleydale and Spanish white helping my mood to lighten...

[TANGODANCER]

I've admitted several times to being somewhat uneducated on wines. I also prefer white to red and a sweeter palate than a dry one. However....since we're having roast beef tonight (and so as not to get excommunicated) I decided to raid our wine supply (yes, we have a somewhat limited one) and tried a "Jacob's Creek Shiraz Cabernet,2005 vintage". Now, admitting most of that is Chinese in my limited knowlege, I didn't find it too bad. Can't even remember getting it in truth. Just thought I'd say like.

Tango takes a step from barbarism... about time n all

That sounds a pretty good red to have with roast beef... No idea if the year is any good - and I'm not a big fan of a lot of Oz wines (tho think reds better than white by and large - and kiwi whites better than red - it's a generalisation, there'll be plenty of exceptions)...

Jacob's Creek a big business but not a bad one... nor a good... decent, i reckon...

[boltonboris]

Went to Milan in Worsley last night, hadn't been for ages as it was pretty damn poor although its reputation says otherwise. But new owners meant I gave it the benefit of the doubt and it was also my best mates birthday celebrations.

It's still sh*t. Unfortunately all the other local establishments couldn't fit us all in

[thebish]

drinking - the other half of a bottle of Lagunilla reserva 2003 Rioja..

the first half I drank through the afternoon whilst wrestling my self-assessment tax-form into sumbission...

(not sure the wine helped! - but I reckon the taxman/woman owes me a whopping £24.40 whoopee!) hic!

Ah. Now then, I've seen this place go from bloody superb to basically shit. I stopped going.
I'd heard that it had improved under new ownership. Is this incorrect?
I haven't risked it recently. Why would I when I can walk to Puccini's?

Also, mate. What was the name of the place in Walkden that you told me about?
