    I'm in the wrong, sorry fellows, I don't have a Rothschild Chateauneuf de Pape, it is a Mouton. Maybe I should should drink less and then I could see the labels.

      For day to day drinking, around £4 to £7 - plenty of decent wines at that price... when out on the town anything up to £400.

      Chianti, as previously mentioned, is usually a good choice, and Brunello di Montalcino, at least 10 years old, preferably 1982 or 1988 from the Soldera estate... had a very good Chateau Latour recently, 'twas lovely...

          Anyone had any Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc or Pelorus?

            Sounds Oz-tralian.... never had one as far as I can recall... another recommendation is most of the output from Conche Y Toro - Chilean, very reasonably priced, havent had a bad one yet.

            Sorry, cute blonde on TV.

            I also drink McGuigan wines sometimes, but thats because he is a relative.

              NZ... supposed to have a reputation of being a "king of wines" and very difficult to get hold of. I've never bought the good vintages but wondering whether it is a hype thing or whether it is as good as people make out.

              (Not to be confused with Oyster Bay Sav Blanc from Tescos, which is quite dry and pleasant nonetheless)

                Mmm... I would imagine the output is quite small comparatively speaking... where have you seen it on sale, I might give it a go...

                While on the subject of white wines, a nice crisp Chablis is very refreshing - goes very well with student nurses.

                  Laithwaites have the Chardonnay but the Sav Blanc is hard to find in the UK - a little easier in the UK and USA.

                  are showing some. Best bet is wine merchants but there's this problem where the reputation for this wine is high and people deliberately inflate the retail price by as much as 50% or so (~£30).

                    Yes, I've had the Cloudy Bay. The 1995 was a truly exceptional year (drinking in 1997). Years since then less so, but a mighty fine tipple it is.

                      Lucky man LB - where did you purchase that fine wine from?
