Do you want a shot of this echo falls summer fruits lad ?I'd a bottle of the Torbreck "Woodcutter's Shiraz" to celebrate our win at Stoke. Very enjoyable.

Although I'm more a fan of whisky and tend to drink more craft ales at home now, for wine there's absolutely no contest for me - 2015 Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon is hands down the best wine i've ever had - if you ever come across it, I implore you to try it. It's so full of fruity notes when you smell it, it almost smells like Ribena or something!
For white wine, my girlfriend and I are big fans of a Torrontes - Tesco did a 'Tesco's Finest' from Salta for £8 which is lovely.
I went to Monaco a couple of years ago and a friend of mine who was living there insisted I try a rosè he'd been drinking which, to this date, is the only one i've ever liked - OTT chateau de selle 2016 - really nice when I had it.. that could have been something to do with the sun & scenery too though I suppose
Talking of Barolos, I've never tried one - I was bought a bottle of 2014 Ricossa just before christmas which I'm yet to open
Will definitely be making my way through some of the recommendations here - great thread

Love a warm brandyEdgy, a Taylors '63' with a classic Blue Stilton cannot be beaten....
With your coffee, the ultimate is a warmed brandy glass of 'Larios 1866 ' The best brandy I have ever tasted.

I'll grab a bottle when we do the online shop this week and let you know how it goes down!Alamos Torrentes 2017 is very refreshing.
Ocado.

Have you tried old pultney- for the money is a nice tipple
I haven't actually, but I'll grab one next time I see it and let you know how it goes - I've a lot of whiskies in the garage now but as much as a try, I've not found one I get on with as well as Talisker 18.
Balvenie Doublewood, the experimental Glenfiddich IPA cask, any Macallan or on a more general note, Monkey's Shoulder & Jameson's are also solid choices.
I’ve tried more whiskys than I can remember, but for the best, I find it hard to beat Glenmorangie and Glenlivet. They’re popular for a reason.Whiskey

I used to really enjoy an oaky Rioja, but can't take pronounced oakiness in wine anymore.The best for me is Rioja, especially in summer.
They’re not all good, but if you stay away from the really cheap supermarket stuff you can’t go far wrong imo.
I do like a good Rioja... Laithwaites do one called Baron du Barbon which is about a tenner, but it is very acceptable..I used to really enjoy an oaky Rioja, but can't take pronounced oakiness in wine anymore.
Recently discovered Rioja joven, or 'young Rioja', that is unoaked. Very nice indeed!
It’s not exactly new, but have you tried Trivento - I think it’s about 7 or 8 quid at Tesco... it’s very niceDoes anyone have any Malbec, or interesting new world recommendations? Lockdown has led me to try lots of new grapes (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it) mainly Italian, but looking to try something new
I'll have to give that one a go. I've been on beer during lockdown for some reason but had a craving for a good red the last few daysI am really sorry Paddy.... I have only just seen this thread.
I only ever drink red wine ( although I might occasionally have a G&T )
Therefore, I have drunk many reds over the years - a mix of good and not so good !!
my “ go to “ wine is a Cotes Du Rhône that Tesco do... it is £4-50 but please don’t be put off by the price because it really is nice.
i first discovered it after reading an article in the Sunday telegraph magazine whilst sitting in a waiting room.....
it used to be £3-50 but then over time as it’s popularity grew so did the price !
It even got up to £6 on one occasion but now it is £4-50..
as I say, do not be put off by the price .....
