What's that you're drinking?
Cleared the shelves for Penfolds Max's Shiraz / Cab yesterday, a fiver off on offer plus -25% so couldn't resist it. (Tesco)
Gradually trying to get into Italian reds as i had a couple of good magnums of '97 Castello Banfi a few years ago.
Any suggestions welcome as i'm building a small tasting selection.

Difficult to go wrong with any Italian wines at the moment imho.Sicilian wines look good at the Wine Society.

These are ones I have, I enjoy and I shall buy again when current stock runs out
fratoria Le Pupille Morellino di Scansano - I have 2018
Cantina Diomenda Lamo di Pietra - I have 2020
Tenute Tomasella Cabernet Franc - I have 2019
Let me know if you have a problem finding them and I’ll try to remember where I get them from.
Thanks all, hope to have a look round on Saturday, maybe a while on internet first. I'm still getting round the different labelling conventions.
Only 2 weeks to go so back to the origin of this thread: what will you be drinking ?
I'm probably having most of a Ch Musar 1998 if I can distract the women with bubbly and Catena Chardonnay Historic Rows or J J Prum. It is also good chance to open a sticky we never seem to get around to.
That should do it.

Probably Musar 2001.
Anyone got Margaux recommendations £30-40?

Insufficient privileges to reply.
Almost certainly good, 2016 was a stunner. The trouble is that they might still be a bit young, even for a second/third wine.

Into post-op recuperation, so nothing much to do for a month but open bottles, build some Lego and listen to music. Perfect!
Although I’m lukewarm towards fizz as a whole, I do like Jacky Blot’s Triple Zero Chenin. I thought I’d start the booze season with his Gamay version. It’s good - very nice in fact - but hand on heart, I prefer the white. But the rosé is doing a fine job as an apéro with some warm stilton and walnut rolls.
Why is Gaston holding a CD? Well, there’s a music quiz…

I didn't know you'd been ill until just now -- I never even considered for a minute clicking on a thread called Hernia until I saw the post above, and then saw from your profile that you'd been busy there.
Anyway, guéris vite! I've just found the perfect Christmas present for you. It is on its way. I owe you big time for all the wine recs.

I’ve ordered some BBR own selection Margaux. Never been disappointed by anything they put their name to.
ETA if you use Amex, they have a member offer for £50 off over £250 orders.
