wish i could be there, sounds like a blast. hope you have fun, grant.
My 51st
Sounds like this could be a cracking night. Are the Sets going to be recorded?
- Edited
Matt Haven’t thought, but can do pal
…no,
I’ll do a Harvey style meltdown and launch Grant’s controller out of the window onto the the White City concourse.
Boooo! It’s their set-up, not mine an all
Along_the_Wire Brilliant, get it recorded for those of us not in attendance, then Damo can chuck their gear out the window.
Matt I’ll be twatted and holding my phone up as a last resort
Grant, I hope you’ll be getting a crate of the old Geoff Chambers in for this?
bosstrabs so do I. What is it?
Along_the_Wire The old Geoff Chambers?
I thought being a wine connoisseur you’d be all over it.
It’s all I drink nowadays to be honest.
I’m more of a Rioja/Tuscan man these days.
Along_the_Wire What Riojas do you tend to go for?
BlainSA mainly Riservas and Alta Rioja is my favourite. Baron De Ley Riserva is always excellent and I drink that at home a fair amount
The reason a few of us are bang into the Geoff Chambers is that it’s horrifically underpriced in the Chinese market.
A mate of mine buys up bottles from a dealer and we take them to restaurants, pay corkage, and get sloshed on the good stuff.
The Sinos chase after names they recognise, that they think bring them kudos. It’s all very superficial. So you will go to a shitty bar and bizarrely find Chivas Regal at 80rmb a pour and Dalwhinnie or a 12-year old Glenfiddich at 55rmb. Simply because everyone wants to be seen drinking Chivas, or in the case of wine, Chateau Lafite (usually fake).
bosstrabs not knocking it Dave, just have other preferences. Do like a good Bordeaux when it comes to French wine. I think a lot of French wine is badly over-rated and like you say, stupidly priced regardless of where you are
Along_the_Wire Ribera > Rioja IMO. And Priorat > both of them.
Amps I won’t derail Grant’s birthday thread, I just caught myself.
But the short answer is ‘yes’. That’s why they all support Man United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
No cunt has enough imagination to think “It would actually be really cool to follow Coventry City or Wrexham” (as at least Yanks may do).
vinnyt77 strays too far to from medium into fuller bodied for my tastes
