The Wine & Whisky Thread

Hi Alex,

I'm sure you are aware of the Tesco offer (half price, at £5.00 a bottle) on the 2002 Marqués de Caranó Gran Reserva (see above posted 14.05.10), but I think I ought to draw it to your and other's attention.

When I posted, I had not actually tried either reds, but thought them good enough (at the price) to recommend. I have now tried both and my recommendation stands.

Tonight had a couple of glasses of the Marqués de Caranó with a boeuf bourguignon with boiled new potatoes, carrots, sugar-snap peas, fine green beans, asparagus and broccoli.

Now that Tesco no longer have the 2005 Berberana on offer, the above is a very acceptable alternative. Fortunately I bought another dozen bottles before the offer ended.

Regards

aparagus and brocolli...

Are they related to asparagus and broccoli, old chap, or some weird cosmo-organic alternative of such? :eyebrows: ;)

I'm loving the boeuf Bourguignon, though! I'll round up the rosés we've been slurping later for your delectation :)

Done it again haven't I ? Well at least I spelt boeuf bourguignon correctly! Or are you going to question the spelling 'boeuf' rather than 'bœuf'?

Corrections made - we should of course aim for the highest of standards here on AoS! I'll stay behind and write them out 500 times.

No, Miss Whiplash has an alternative form of punishment awaiting you, which I know you'll enjoy.......

Haha ! Unfortunately, S&M is something that has never interested me.

(Where do you find these smileys?)

No, I suspect you're more an 'M&S' sort of chap! :lol:

The smileys are from my 'private collection', held within a secret vault in my dungeon ;)

Marco.

Piccini Chianti Riserva is half price at £5.49 in Sainsbury's. I picked up a couple of bottles at the weekend, and will be back for more!

:lolsign: Well I suppose you could say they're my outfitters - I do buy my underpants from them (but not in packs of 12)!
