Along_the_Wire Dan Can’t help but agree, but I definitely know what I like and what’s good value in those wines and varieties.
Along_the_Wire Matt I had to fly back from holiday for a major work issue - did the meeting, went home and played Gear of War MP for 6 hours straight and nailed the three bottles. Had to get a 7am flight back to Nice the next morning and it was a horror show.
Mad_Cyril Along_the_Wire I’m assuming the thin sheen of sweat on your fizzog earned a few nervous looks from the cabin crew?
Along_the_Wire Mad_Cyril Booze only hangovers are okay. Going into work on a Friday after a Bedrock in 98 was different gravy.
Mad_Cyril Along_the_Wire Know what you mean. But if my peepers are like saucers I’m not going to work! Being in the office with the fear that you reek of booze, but cant tell, is pretty bad for paranoia!
ScottBailey Night Train! 😄 All my stock is in Hardy’s VR Merlot. It’s the first one I’ve found that I can do a bottle of and be fine for work the following morning without wanting to kill myself.

-si- Grant sank 144 bottles of red over the Xmas period last year so for that reason surely he’s our sommelier?
Old-Dutch Really all depends on what you like. I’m a big fan of new world wine - proper full bodied power 14.5% shiraz / syrah types . Not a fan of subtle wines at all really. Virgin Wines is fucking excellent value - especially once you get assigned a dealer who can do you better deals than the on site. Currently drinking this, which is amazing for the price. https://www.virginwines.co.uk/wine/Z39671102291/Black-Flag-Winemakers-McLaren-Vale-Barossa-Langhorne-Creek-Shiraz-Touriga-Durif My guy sorting it for £11 a bottle. Hit me up on PM Matt if you want and I’ll hook you up if you want. Same goes for everyone if you’re interested.
Mad_Cyril Old-Dutch Similar tastes. On second case of Perez Cruz from Virgin. Is Virgin ‘your guy’? If so will have a butchers @ your recommendation 👍
Old-Dutch Mad_Cyril Love the Perez Cruz mate it’s great stuff. The Carmanere Malbac was a favourite for a long time
