Oh Dear.
Carpenters Live?
My missus, for her 50th, wants me to take her to the Austrian Alps so she can sing "the hills are alive" there - live pishanto 1
My neighbour (2 houses down) recently had Chas & Dave as the live band for his garden party (apparantly he's a friend of Dave). Probably better if you were actually there.

Does anybody know where the word 'Pishanto' actually comes from or was evolved? Google is not helpful!

ME!! I made it up, as a mangled marriage between Scottish vernacular and Italian, with 'anto' simply added onto "Pish" (i.e. 'crap'), in order to make it sound more 'exotic'
However, I must bow to its master, Al, who turns the term so beautifully into an art form!

Pishanto is a fruity red wine from the Pishani valley region of kazakhstan.
Lidl had some 2009 Gran Reserva Pishanto on offer last week.
Not to be confused with Pisano wine from Uruguay http://www.pisanowines.com/
I would like to try a bottle of Pisano if anyone knows where to buy it ?
If I had been quicker than Marco someone might have believed it

Ha - sorry to have spolied your fun, Mark! Yes, I think that could've worked...Pishanto is a fruity red wine from the Pishani valley region of kazakhstan.

Regarding the wine, I suspect that's one for specialist importers and wine merchants, as Uruguayan wines are pretty thin on the ground in the UK.
