The red corner this week will be inhabited by Château Fourcas Dupré 2006, Listrac-Medoc (£23.99) a delicious claret from the Pages family, who we feel have producing great, undervalued claret for a good number of years now. Several of you have asked and yes, a gift voucher for Wine School is available. If you’re lucky, Alex won’t have drunk it all before lunch. Rare because there really isn’t very much of it about, really lazy because all it has done since 1964 is laze around in barrels getting fabulous. A very rare but really rather lazy beast.
We will be opening a bottle of the Kopke Colheita 1964 (£150). We’ve chatted with several of you over time about the differing styles of port.
We shall be opening Champagne Thiénot Brut NV (£32.99) a delicious drop that we thought was drinking particularly nicely when we opened a bottle at Wine School recently.Īs you know, we offer six bottles for the price of five on most of our fizz and champagne.įor this weekend only, we’ll also offer the Thiénot on a three bottle deal of 3 bottles for £90 for those of you who’d prefer not to buy a box of six. It is our birthday this weekend (WE ARE SIX!) so tradition dictates that we open a bottle of bubbly on Saturday. Those of you who didn’t manage to get along though, do not despair. We kicked the month off yesterday with one of each, so thanks to everyone who came along and made the evening such fun, apologies for Wayne’s singing.

I reckon that’s the equivalent to a bottle of beer or two don’t you?

Clearly not after a penalty shoot-out!Īmerican Express launches their ShopSmall campaign on Saturday. He has stated he is keen to make up for the 1996 Euros and he knows that there is a “time and a place for a beer”. It would appear the last 4 games were just a rehearsal. So what would you drink with yours?Įlsewhere, Gareth Southgate has been announced as the England manager.
Thanks Jim, for your culinary contribution, but what would you drink with a Big Mac? Clearly Cola, or a shake will have their fans, and I’m sure an argument could be made for a nice, hoppy pale ale, perhaps but what wine would you choose? Wayne quite likes the idea of a Brunello di Montalcino, that rich dark ripe cherry fruit being a decent foil, whilst Alex is thinking more southern hemisphere, with Pulenta Estate’s Gran Corte, a richly fruited Malbec blend from the lofty Lujan de Cuyo region of Mendoza. That chap was Jim Delligatti, who passed away this week, aged 98. There was the special sauce too, and the Big Mac was born, creating a lasting impression on McDonalds and now sold in over 100 countries worldwide. Forty nine years ago a chap came up with the idea of doubling the lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions and beef patties in one burger.
