Got a bottle of Tesco's Finest Range Valpolicella Classico 2002! Half price at £4.59!

Tastes like it out to be at £4 normally! Well on first inspection......wait a tick and by now it should have had time to breath.....2nd inspection coming up.

Gus 1855 · « **Reply #126 on:** October 11, 2004, 10:17:49 pm »

2nd inspection, still a bit vinegarry!

Gus 1855 · « **Reply #127 on:** October 11, 2004, 10:18:23 pm »

tastes ok with a lincolshire sausage though!

Sorry to interrupt the party.

Era Costana reserva 1999 from Sainsbury's. Lovely Rioja.

Was reduced to 4.99 but I think it is now 8.99 again.

Perm any one from three! Although clearly it was a reference to your razor sharp wit, your style and verve and um, er, vigour.

Gus 1855 · « **Reply #149 on:** October 12, 2004, 07:22:58 pm »

MMmmm decisions decisions..

..bought 3 bottles of Red at Tesco....

1) Bog standard Vina Mara Rioja - dirt cheap, but good from memory
2) Half price Barossa Valley Shiraz
3) Some random Corbieres that i know nothing about.

Which one?

Jonathan Hall ☆☆☆☆☆☆ · « **Reply #150 on:** October 12, 2004, 07:28:31 pm »

Open one finish it move on

Tetti · « **Reply #151 on:** October 12, 2004, 08:28:36 pm »

Barossa Shiraz for you.

Im delving into another Argentinian Malbec tonight to improve my humour.

Gus 1855 · « **Reply #152 on:** October 12, 2004, 09:28:14 pm »

Shiraz it was, pretty crap with my pesto pasta! Corbieres next.

Gus 1855 · « **Reply #153 on:** October 14, 2004, 11:25:23 pm »

Just returned back from seeing my parents to find one of the bottles i have been laying down for years empty. The guy who drank it didn't realise it was anything special..do I:

1) Kick the Living Daylights out of him.
2) Pretend it doesn't matter so he doesn't get upset.
3) Tell him it matters, but not make a scene about it, but make him then feel worse, and then suffer him buying a bottle he thinks is a good replacement, only to tell him he has bought a load of crap!

Who was the guy - has an impact on the answer

Option 1 then

Gus 1855 · « **Reply #158 on:** October 14, 2004, 11:35:02 pm »

No! That is the worst thing...I have been so tempted to crack it open for the last 6 years to see how good it has become. My Dad though has the pallette of a baboons ass, so he can't even tell me it was stunning. He said, and i quote...

"sorry, i just thought it was some plonk"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though it was almost welded to the wine rack with dust....which by the way makes my wine collection far better looking than it actually is. Nothing like a bit of dust!
