    Whites give me a headache. I was spoilt with reds. A French customer treated us to some of the finest Bordeau wines.

    She gets up my nose a bit too. The Doctor is fine so far except for the bits where he's thinking aloud; those are getting on my nerves a bit.

    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.

    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.

    started a topic Favourite Wine!

    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!

    Any recommendations?

Working...
