My second bottle from Asda..
2014 Château Brown, Graves Pessac-Leognan
Intrigued by the name of the château, I recently picked up a bottle in Paris:

Not a château recently bought by some jumped-up plutocrat, who fancies trying his hand at wine making, the estate was bought by a Scottish wine merchant, John Lewis Brown back in 1795. Today it is managed by Jean-Christoph Mau, who bought the estate in 2004.
Set on the oldest terroir in the Bordeaux wine region, Graves, the château is at the heart of the Pessac-Leognan appellation.
55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. 13% ABV, €45 a bottle.
I'll be laying this one down for a few years to achieve its best. :)
Pacé Marco - another Bordeaux! ;)
Anyone tried Absinthe?
I love it.... just sipping some Trenet Absinthe with ice cold water over a sugar cube...

Gotta be careful with that stuff - next news you'll be returning to the offy for a second bottle, and the bloke behind the counter will comment on your lack of a skirt, and your wearing your knickers as a hat. No problem though, you won't remember any of it :)Quote:

Creamy, zesty, hoppy and smooth - as good as the likes of Hoegaarden, IMO, for a fraction of the price! :barrel:
You'll find it near their 'middle isle' in a separate section, along with some other Alpenfest stuff, not where the rest of the beers are. I'm going tomorrow to get a load more!

I like wheat beer, but many are put off by the cloudy appearance. Their loss!
Indeed, Barry. Trust me, this stuff is top notch: proper German wheat beer, which you'd pay a LOT more for if it had a 'fancy label'... For lover's of wheat beer [Alex, where are you?] this one from Lidl is a major bargain!!:cool:
Marco.
Quite liked Wheat beer, but not as a daily "get pissed" drink lol.. Wheated bourbon done well is stunning too. Weller special reserve is one of the daddys imoQuote:

Alcohol - any alcohol - should always be enjoyed in moderation.
