[Drinking] Friday night "still second even if we lose" drinking thread

[Bozza]

Last weekend's guest [MENTION=27447]Goldstone1976[/MENTION] brought a gift that he described as "something a bit special from my cellar". He spouted off about laying it down, drinking it some time in the next 15 years and to let it breathe and decant it.

It sounds like a perfect Christmas dinner wine.

However in the absence of anything else in the house, and as I can't be bothered to pop down to Tesco, I'm going to guzzle it tonight.

3 pints of pravah (staropraman lite) in the railway and home for some bottles of singha

What is it though?

A cup of tea for me. A couple of IPA's when I get home from work around 22.30

What is it though?

Cos d'Estournel, 2000. Presumably the year.

Unbelievably it seems to have bits in it. You don't get that with Tesco £4.99 specials.

Keep the big bits in the mug by drinking through a straw.

Couple of cheeky bottles of Tanglefoot in Mid Sussex Mansions tonight

 

[Thunder Bolt]

A glass of Fief Vendeean Rose.

 

[Quinney]

Tsingtao for the first time. Quite nice. Taking it easy for tomorrow's trip to Bristol.

We brought some of that back with us. Delicious stuff. Didn't last long though.

On the Whitstable Bay tonight.

We made sure we brought back plenty. It's a favourite of mine.

I'm no expert but it seems to me that you've wasted the basis of a good coq au vin

If it's been laying down, you need to stand it up for a while before decanting it. Or use a tea-strainer.

We'll be having a little number from the west Midlands:

Did you buy that from Lidl per chance?

I ask having made my first ever visit this week (my son had a Beavers outing to Shoreham lifeboat station and I had a bit of time to kill) and I'm sure I spied it amongst their beers at what looked like a decent price.

It's what I tend to drink in The Cyclist, I think.

Blimey, [MENTION=27447]Goldstone1976[/MENTION] : remind me to invite you round sometime

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Some Argentinian Malbec or other.

Slipping down nicely

I thought she'd left the West Midlands for West Ham before 2014.

Better find something/someone to hold on to!

No, but I have done previously. This is the Organic version from Sainsbury's. Very good for a bottled ale.
