I can drink most varieties of red wine without a bother, however most of the French red I’ve ever tried is rancid.

If someone could please add that to the Christmas tipple spreadsheet please…

    Love a robust Italian.

    Quite like their wine too.

      Smallman1 Love a robust Italian

      a fine Chianti with some fava beans?

      ScottBailey I think a lot of French wine over-rated, but you can get some really good stuff

        bosstrabs Love a decent Semillon.

        Can be uncomfortable when wearing jeans though.

        Lol!

          A good DRC is superb!

            Decent Bordeaux if Shiraz if anyone is stuck for BIRTHDAY present ideas

            Smallman1 <Hugo> There is no such thing as a decent Semillon, it’s too sweet, no wine connoisseur takes it seriously

            Wasily A good DRC is superb!

            The the biggest pinot noir fan either!

            Does anyone have any restaurant recommendations for Pollensa / Alcudia in Majorca?

            Heading there next week.

            Muchas gracias!

              Smallman1 don’t go to Alcudia, it’s the Benidorm of Mallorca.

              Been quite a few times and can’t remember any specific restaurants in Pollenca, we just wondered down there and went somewhere we fancied - never had a bad meal there except for a curry once. Excellent value Rioja Riservas wherever you go an all.

              Top man, cheers Grant!

              Smallman1 Puerto De Pollenca (on the coast) or Pollenca (inland) ?

              EU Moll 37 is right on the seafront, just North of the marina. Best buñuelos de bacalao I think I’ve ever had. Good value.

              Dos Kanallas is about 100m NW of the marina. Probs my favourite restaurant in Port de Pollenca. Blends traditional, local ingredients with modern techniques.

              No. 31 is a couple of hundred metres W of the marina. Very traditional Mallorcan, but done very well.

              Amazo is 100m N of the marina. I think the best fish in PdP. Bit lumpy if you really go for it, but worth the spend…

              Vin you’re a star, thank you so much, really appreciate it.
