***The Wine Thread***

My wife only drinks reds... think of my horror...


speaking of horrors, I forgot to tell you... let me upload the tragic event that occurred when a small 4yr old child, who isn't mine, decided to run backwards away from my dogs and into a box of special edition Nativ, that was sitting at the top of the concrete basement stairs. One plus, the box stopped her falling down the concrete stairs backwards. The downside was 4 bottles of smashed nativ. Her mum replaced the bottles with some supermarket wine... I hate to be ungrateful but I really wish she hadn't. I know she was being nice but I won't drink it lol
 
I could have... should have but so much glass lol

My wife actually agreed while we were having a BBQ that we in fact did need to order some wine as we are missing some crucial price point wines thanks to lockdown. I was going to order some primos as I know I can get great bang for buck on them, but instead I ended up going for the 13.50-15 euro price point and not Italian.

Got 6 cabs, 6 merlots and one of their others. Seem like the wine we had when over there and great value! We paid 13.50 for these, ordered monday evening and they arrived this morning!

Now I need to order in some italian sub 10er bottles so we have a decent 30ish bottles in "everyday" section! I'll have to do that so I don't get shouted at mind!
 
Oh man, I should get some of that. It's one not to have too hot, cool it down a bit as that ABV becomes overpowering if it's left to get too warm. Treacly drop that, heavy, rich and full of flavour. Open it for some time to get the real benefits.

Now that would be something. It is hands down the best Champagne I've ever had, and 8 bottles of it would be amazing. Not sure the wife would agree to 7.5k on it though :P

It's a weird one this year, I think as we can't have parents over from the UK we *might* be having Christmas dinner at ours with very good friends (if restrictions are lifted enough, just a couple and their two kids). They suggested starting a Christmas kitty... I know they dont earn as much as we do and never spend much on wine but it's Christmas! So I have to try and do wine without coming across like a dick at the same time :P Yes, I know, that'll be hard.
 
I might have to email you anyway. I'm mulling over ideas for a pivot of our private jet/luxury travel app and thinking about going down the exclusive luxury market route. I have connections across many different virtuals from private islands, super car rentals, US vineyards, events etc. trying to hash out some plans for bringing these opportunities to people.

@randomshenans I've got a mag of 02 waiting another 10 or so years before I'll touch it. If you want any info on the 08 down the line then I think you have my email somewhere, it isn't (quite) that expensive.

That and I always want 08 Salon :P
