Spec me a .....Wine

well if you bring the wine. You would probs be better company tonight aswell she being a miserable sod (pffft women)

I know im being a pain, but ive just said Duck so can you recommend me wine for duck ? & a bottle of white for later for good measure to keep her sweet aswell :p
 
For white I recommend a Chardonnay I got in Marks and Spencer called Le Froglet, £5. I loved it and it gets good reviews online. It'll go well with chow mein because it's unoaked, not too dry and drinks well by itself!

it's the only option
 
get some merlot, unless your eating fish/chicken etc there is no excuse. merlot is typically sweeter and easier to drink.
 
~20 ukp...

Sancerre in that price range is going to be fantastic too :D

Cloudy Bay 2004 Chardonnay - about 20 a bottle. If you've got a laithewaites near by for example. We drank two of these back to back it was so good.

Louis Jadot has many vineyards hence the different labels, names and prices which can make it confusing to say "get a bottle of Jadot"..

Ernest and Julio White Grenache.
It's a rose wine but tastes great. (This is coming from someone who strongly dislikes most wine.)

^^ i agree with this, I dont like wine but lately iv developed a taste for grenache rose and zinfandel rose.
Grenache is the better out the 2, cant remember which brand I like as it was a sainsburys one.
 
Unless this ASDA is huge you won't find anything worth drinking if you're after something decent.

A Volnay or Fleurie would be my suggestion to accompany what you're eating: both have delicious bouquets and are fairly light so won't overpower what you're eating.
Also they both tend to have a complex flavour which will normally encompass many different things. They will not be your bog standard muck in a bottle from the new world which tend (apart from the very best which are mediocre to be frank) to be boring and have one overpowering flavour making it accessible to the wider market.

A good enough Volnay will be around the £30-40 mark whereas Fleurie is cheaper and will vary from £8-£30.

If you're keen on white I'd go with a nice bottle of Chablis.

If you can find it Brunello is exquisite, but I'm yet to find them easily in the UK and the ones I've found have been from inferior vinyards.

Hope this is vaguely helpful to you.



ps. I'm not trying to provoke anyone here so put them handbags down.

It's great isn't it? I've tried fairly expensive wines (£50-400/bottle) but I'd much prefer a bottle of gallo white grenache.

I dont think iv tried anything expensive but it basically tasted like a rich fruity juice, bit like a richer high juice.
Im not sure what brand it was I drank but it was 3 for £10, and my mate works in sains so got £2 off that.. it was great tasting especially at under £3 a bottle.

Dont see the point in shelling out more when something so much cheaper is that nice, whats the point in developing an expensive taste when you could use the money much more constructively?
