Christmas Wine III

[wacko]

You tried the Ataraxia,worth a pop?

No but I read winemaker is ex-Hamilton Russell. Worth a try.

Chemin de Moscou drinking beautifully -- 2017 -- the wine needs 7 years at least.

Jings.
I nearly opened that tonight then choose the dolcetto.

 

[Dogberry]

Yevgeny is still listing some good halves it's a £200 threshold for free delivery but curiously free for six bottles.

 

[Dogberry]

Maybe because it sounds germanic I expect it to deliver,certainly better than the last outing ,full delicious. The search for the best pinot blanc ,la lutte continue.

A wee tune reminds me of Brideshead.

Not my last meal hopefully, I would like to Watch the river flow.

Lord, make me strong enough not to order more Chemin de Moscou. But not yet.

Do you know the Naxos recordings with Alison Alty playing with Camden? She used to play in the Youth Orchestra with me and then went to Manchester Uni. She studied with Camden later in London, I think. I bumped into her in Manchester a couple of times but never saw her again.

Wot a piece I need to find a complementary plonk.

 

[Dogberry]

Wee mencia,smooth silky light fruit,moreish.

organic Alberino here, co-op under a tenner, going down a treat with a seafood home made pizza.
really liking organic wines, makes sense to me as grapes are full of pesticides, inside and out which you can wash off, but the inners are a time bomb maybe?

Thought I should mention that Janasse Terre d'Argile improves significantly after being open a day or two. (Or decant it a couple of hours before drinking.)
For my 2020 at least.

 

[Finnegan]

Picked this up for a tenner with no great expectations. But it was actually bloody lovely. Crisp, refreshing, with a nice mousse. Perfect for a sunny summer evening.

Palladiano Durello Spumante Brut

Palladiano Durello Spumante Brut is a great alternative to Prosecco from the same region of northern Italy. Floral aromas, green apple and subtle honeyed flavours with a persistent mousse.A crisp, zesty fizz from the local Durello grape grown in the foothills of Monte Lessini. The sparkling wine...

£11 a pop for Guigal White at Ocado -- I think they have the red too, but IMO the white is an (even) better buy. Where I am they're sold out (not surprisingly) until July.
