hopefully a pomerol, or a pommard
it was great
I will record my wines more assiduously henceforth
Pomerol rings a bell! Yeah I think it was that

i'll pay more for a bottle of whiskey, since it's more stable and can hang out in my liquor cabinet for a long time without ever really going bad, and one drink of whiskey takes less from the bottle than a glass of wine. though i max out at around $45 w/ whiskey. you can get a lot of good whiskies in the $25-$40 range.

About 10 years ago or more their used to be a lovely Rioja you could get for £3.29 at Asda that put many £10+ bottles to shame. Even Malcom Gluck raved about it in the Graun iirc.

Best in show in the best single-varietal red under £15.

I feel like the $15-18 range is the sweet spot where it's pretty unlikley I'll get something *bad* if I'm buying from a decent store and have some idea what kind of thing I want. I have go-to wines in the $10-12 range but it gets riskier there.

i don't drink but it's heartening to know that good wines under 15 are plentiful

Gik blue wine comes to the UK from Spain
The producers suggest pairing the wine with sushi, nachos with guacamole or pasta carbonara with music from James Blake or Alt J in the background

I can't remember which £4.37 La Moneda Reserva Malbec won the big wine award but I got a few bottles of their pinot noir and a few of their merlot in this week. So far the merlot is decent - good enough for any low level bon vivant!

The wankers have upped the La Moneda Reserva Malbecit range to £5.75 a bottle now, hope they fucking die.
