My local coop is selling;
Poggio Castagno Chianti Riserva 2007 @ £4.99

Not sure I'd pay £10 for it, but at a fiver it's very good value, and very drinkable

Just about to sit down for tonight's repast, which is roast wild Scottish grouse wrapped in Bayonne ham, in Sauce Albert on a bed of braised Savoy cabbage and celeriac mash with Pommes Dauphinoise, garlic-infused fine green beans and steamed asparagus tips, drizzled with Jersey butter.
For anyone interested, the grouse is from Donald Russell (phenomenal quality on-line butchers): http://www.donaldrussell.com/pages/p...ookie%5Ftest=1
We're having this cheeky little chap with it....

I'm about to have me tea, which will be a spam butty washed down with a can of dandelion and burdock.

Washed down with Tesco's dependable 2006 Castillo San Lorenzo Rioja Reserva.
What you had sounds really nice, Barry - nothing prosaic about it, yum yum! :)
As it's Valentines night tonight, and we detest mingling with the rabble in restaurants paying though the nose for some rather vulgar 'themed dinner', most of which Del likely couldn't eat, I went into Chester today to our favourite French delicatessen and bought her a selection of vegetarian canapés and nibbles (and of course some flowers).
So along with that lot and some smoked salmon blinis, parma ham filled rosemary and sea salt-infused ciabatta, and also some duck liver pâté, we'll snuggle up in front of the log fire instead with some pink Champers, which is in the fridge chilled and ready to go:

Anyone else got any plans for Valentines?

I have the same problem with the overly large wine glasses that are popular over here, I had to import some smaller ones from Spain...more like port glasses in size. :cool:Quote:
