Im on some Caol ila

 

 

Camparron crianza 2008. Not a bad bottle at all.

I've recently decided that Punk IPA is actually really good and not shite (as previously thought)

Not as good as Hardcore IPA though.

Correct.

Was drinking this last night. 7.2% and wasn't bad actually.

Not a big IPA fan but this is really nice from Canada. Available in Sainsburys.

Wolf Blass Shiraz

Today I will be drinking a nice German beer.

 

Cheapest thing I could find.

 

Tasting notes?

Stella 4

Well it was on offer and I no longer get free beer

Bottle of red after m and s dine for two eaten by one.

Is it still two dine for £10 ?

Had that a couple of times, although as you allude to, the portion sizes are better suited to one person consuming it on their own

Yea it's really good value. I was going to get a ready meal and a bottle of wine anyway so it's cheaper doing it through m&s. Still a wee bit depressing though.

ot sure if the money saved makes any less depressing though ?

 

Depressing ?

As in buying a meal deal for two with no one to share it with or what ?

Sounds like a win, Andrew. Not having to share your food and a bottle wine to wash it down 

Suns out, feels like it should be beer O'clock!  Think i'll be having one of these tonight:

 

I will be staying sober. Today is my 4 months!

Congrats MBT!

 

Not something I'm planning even though I'm triathlon training , all in moderation I say! Actually had a nice local IPA tonight.

Tonight would be an appropriate time to try a new drink.

 

A vodka from Scotland - Glamis, near Forfar, "potato vodka" it says on the bottle - on the night Scotland drew with Poland, a nation that can't get enough tattie juice.

 

I've never been a voddie drinker but bought a bottle last week recommended by my vintner. Ogilvy it is, £35 a pop.

 

Interesting how we all eat more rice and pasta so our local farmers turn their oversupply into bevvy. Don't try Valt vodka. It's really shite. Got into this with Grey Goose from the freezer. One or two at the end of the night gives a good dunt. This is recommended to be served at room temp over ice.

 

 

One would be disadvantaged by failing to heed good advice.

 

Try Ogilvy vodka.

 

The equivalent of a double pub measure over two cubes of ice.

 

Sip gently over 20 minutes or so.

 

Fucking sublime.

 

Only an idiot over-indulges and abuses alcohol.

 

Taking good quality in decent measures is the only way.

 

 

Edit: ok already, it was maybe a triple. Fucking fine though.

 

That's me teetotal for January, as we have done every January this century (bar a couple).

 

I hate alcohol right now, having had only one AFD (alcohol-free day, on the 30th) for 2 or 3 weeks.

 

By the middle of the month, I will feel so good I will swear I'll never drink again.

 

Then by the end of the month, I'll be choking for a pint.
