Started on a Vieilles Vignes Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2007, and now onto a Malborough Two Rivers 2008, with another in reserve ;-)

Mods : If this should be put in Food and Wine, so be it!!!!

I'm currently half way through my second bottle of Bordeaux. Nothing special something that was on offer in the supermarket.

i'm staying at my parent's house for a couple of days, meaning i have access to both their fantastic coffee machine and dad's equally fantastic whisky selection. both are being employed along with the odd bottle of bud and handful of cheesy buttons.

Couple bottles of Doombar. Andrew Neil has just started interviewing Joan Collins and Nicholas Parsons so I think it's time to break out something stronger.

I've been switching from Heineken to Rioja then back to Heineken, but the Rioja has been drank dry by the OH so it looks as if a La Chasse du Pape could be coming out any moment, otherwise it's a glass of Pinot from the box in the fridge biggrin

Red stripe, it's actually quite nice!

Not really developed a taste for wines yet, I'm only 22 so hopefully have plenty of time for that yet. They do interest me in a way, but the taste of the wines I have tried made no real impression on me.

I smashed two bottles in work earlier that smelt quite nice, but that may have been because I was in work...
