B&O speaker. I’m pretty sure that’s the equivalent of putting your feet on the dash

Dear bloody god!

It'll get shaken up!

Have to love the SM forum. We have a wine and smoking thread running alongside a weight loss and fitness one. I know which camp I’d rather be in!

Yeah. I want to be in one, but need to be in the other

The Ribera del Duero is Portuguese... best thing about Portuguese wine is that it's almost all really good indeed and I get mixed cases shipped over at pretty much the price you'd pay there. Including a couple of bottles of easy quaffing port and some good plonks of all colours, still and sparkling, and all for less than £100. If you just want the plonk then don't pay more than €5 a bottle and your tastebuds will be happy.

The Coteaux du Layon is a sweet white from an area not far to the west of saumur. €3.50 a bottle from the vineyard!

Erm, I think you’ll find “Ribera Del Douro” is Spanish..

I believe you’re mixing up the above with the “Douro” valley in Portugal..

indeed... variety is the spice of life, after all!

For example, I did a 33 mile bike ride today and am now drinking a very smooth Napa Cabernet Sauvignon - was fabulous with a Sunday dinner of Roast Beef & Yorkshire Puddings!

That looks a lovely set up but doesn’t the Tv need to be higher....think that would drive me nuts.

No it’s a perfect viewing angle. That’s the mistake most people make.. they hang their tv over a fireplace and have to crank their neck looking upwards. You’ll notice the tv is also slightly angled backwards, that also assists with the perfect viewing angle

In a deliberate expression of my love for all things European, this is tonight’s experiment with consuming my inheritance...



I’ve just decanted it and the first sip was promising...

That ought to be stunning. Great producer Grivot. Dark colour for a Pinot!

In the glass it’s a lot paler - it has that lovely translucent see-through quality that comes with old wine...

Very nice!

F*ck me!

This was so good we had to have several.

Just right for a stormy and wet Monday evening, I might even have a cigar.
