What you drinking now?

[Bebs]

Little early for something so sweet?

Why? Decent Sauternes often really is appreciated best on its own I find - once you start adding deserts into the mix it can quickly get ‘lost’ in all the sugar, plus you’ve usually had a load of other wine beforehand. I very much appreciate Sauternes on its own generally.
But I might grab some foie gras from the fridge that I picked up from the local duck farm.
Also, a cigar goes really well with the sweetness.

Fair call, then! De gustibus non est disputandum. Certainly wasn't criticising, just thought it unusual

Looking for more triple sec and found this in the back of a cupboard. No idea how old or who gave it to us. Will cool and open tonight. Not optimistic though…..View attachment 115984

I wouldn't bother, we tried these wines some time ago and none were good even then - we know have them purely for decorative purposes

 

[Hurricane52]

Bastille Day and Le Tour hits Le Grand Colombier. Thought I’d go off piste with this Vin Orange.

Never tried it before - concerned that there might be a hint of Tizer…

No Tizer. Once my brain got used to the idea, I really enjoyed this. Mrs says it has hints of almond, but all I could get was clementines. Anyway, it’s well worth seeking out, although they only bottled 1250. Surprising. As was today’s stage…

What I have been drinking - Two bottles of wine at the local Italian now what shall I pick at home. Fizzy or not…Decisions.

I think fizzy would cleanse the palate. About to crack a bottle of pink (non fizz) here

Pink is always good buddy….

A difficult choice for me.

Given what you did already, I'd probably go for the one on the left, but it's *far* too late

Just nipped into M&S

This was reduced from £42 to £15

Unfortunately they only had the 3 bottles , it would be rude not to , don't know if it's a nationwide reduction
