Have you never seen Olly Smith on tv ?
He's like a hyper-active Boris Johnson.

Re: Wine
I'm doing turkey - for the first time - for christmas. there's only six of us - so i'm getting a turkey crown.
I hardly ever eat turkey, and have never cooked one.
Best wine?
I'm thinking a Galician white from the Albarino grape and a NZ Pinot Noir so people have a choice which way they want to go. Or indeed, both if they wish. Or should I go for Burgundy?
Any objections, affirmations or alternatives?

Re: Wine
I think Chile is the source of some major supermarket bargains at the moment. I've just poured a glass of Chardonnay-Viognier from the Central valley, Via Sainsbury's. A fiver in a 'half price' offer.
It's a real bargain.
The label says Vina Araya 2011 Reserva. Very good. Get in while stocks last!

Re: Wine
The price does sound excellent. I found this site of wines under a fiver - http://winesunderfive.com/2012/09/vina- ... unds-each/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - might be worth checking for you lucky chaps. We don't get much potable for that price.William the White wrote:I think Chile is the source of some major supermarket bargains at the moment.

Re: Wine
Well, first time in my life, ordered some wine online.
Tescos had loads of offers online so i chose 6 Chilean white for the missus and for me, and 6 of a Portugese red...based purely on Bruce telling me how good Portugese is
Came to £50 and free delivery, should be there tonight when i get home.

Re: Wine
Just got two dozen bottles from Tesco finest range. Had £60 of their vouchers, which I doubled to £120 in a promotion and spent it all on wines
In addition my quarterly Laithwaites box of reds just turned up so, all in all, here's to a very merry Christmas!
