Spell check? Maybe it should read “cheesy knob”

Totally agree mate.My Ms did a painting class online today. Despite the selection of muppets out there there are an awful lot of kind hearted and considerate people out there.
Nice. Surely the question is which one do you want firstOnly question now is which one do I want...
It's been improving year on year for 20+ or so. Very much a Summer favourite here too - particularly cave l'Ormarine.Picpoul is my current wine list pick (clearly not red) in that I don't recall a bad one for some years.

Did you have one in that mixed 6 the other year? If so it was "Isabelle" from Metro but was, in fact, relabelled Duc de Morny.
Highly recommended and the "better" restaurants around the bassin tend to carry it. We like to use these placemats in the garden:

Not tried Picpoul du Pinet until last week. Have three bottles of the below. A bit to heavy for me as prefer a light wine. Perhaps it will grow on me.....
Surprised to hear it described as heavy but each to their own .

Suppose C it's against what I normally drink. Perhaps the ones I have arent a decent bottle maybe........I could tell as soon as I poured if as it was a darker color almost golden green .....I find i prefer the lighter colours.........Will give it another go though.
I will take a shot...but we have 49 bottles of wine to get through so may not be anytime shortly...Only panic buying we did.......
Are those the actual bottles? Shame to say it, because that is a nice example, but they are 2016. That's way too old for Picpoul - it's at its best young. No more than 2yo. It oxidizes quite quickly thereafter and explains the darker colour & heaviness. Almost clawing at that age I'd suspect. Although, I am aware of an unscrupulous vendor in France passing off old Picpoul as Vin Jeaune. Which may well be the best bet for the remaining bottles - use it in a fondue.Not tried Picpoul du Pinet until last week. Have three bottles of the below.

I'm getting uncomfortable, we've only got 20! And The Wine Society has shut down!
