Though I'm more of a red wine kinda gal, a decent kiwi pinot noir, a nice burgundy or bordeaux (older the better), a montelpulciano or some marques de riscal.

90% of NZ Sauvignon Blancs are excellent and well worth the extra couple of quid. Try Oyster Bay if it's Tescos you're off to.Last edited by Sausage Surprise; 6 June 2010, 09:06.

Chardonnay comes in a variety of guises - IMO for chardonnay you can't do better than a good Chablis. What do you like? Sharp/fruity/oaky? Red wine is an acquired taste - if you want to get into it start with a nice Italian sangiovese - fruity and light.

Was Dr Who any good? I've given up on it (Amy mugs to the left, mugs to the right, stares intently into the distance. Tedious.

Went on a wine tasting afternoon in Australia to a particularly nice vineyard and mentioned the above. The host insisted I drank there best Red Wine and it was because I had obviously only had rubbish before.
I took one sip, spat it out and went 'Yep! Vinegar!'
I wasnt invited back.

If you like white, try an Italian Soave. Or (for a few pennies more) spanish albarino.

Favourite Wine!
Rightio I'm off to the local wine emporium (Tescos) to buy some wine for the evening so I can sit down and watch Dr Who and Britains Got Idiots.
I personally like a nice Chardonay (2-1 btw this will CM & CH's name if they have a daughter in the near future, Evens for Winston if it's a boy)
Perhaps Chilean probably Aussie wine. Bit oaky, probably a Semillion Chardonay!
