Your Christmas Booze Order

[Lefty]

One of my jobs for this week is to build up stocks for Christmas/New Year

So far I've got:

6 crates of beer from Williams Brothers (a variety of mostly IPA's and Pale Ales)
12 bottles of Tesco Finest Prosecco
6 bottles Moët nv
2 bottles Krug nv
2 bottles orange truffle baileys
4 bottles Taylor's LBV port
1 bottle Tesco finest Oloroso (£4.40!!)

I need to top up my vodka and Kahlua stocks. I've also got some Glenglassaugh 30yo held back for me in my local whisky shop and I'll have a look at the latest GlenDronachs.

None of my family or likely visitors drink much red wine so I don't tend to drink it much these days. But I might try to sneak in a couple of bottles of Chateauneuf...

Hic.

What's everyone else having?

[Shaw Tarse]

Just winding up an order from the wine society.

Approx 3 dozen bottles, a fair mix of whites and reds,tending to the latter, no champers as nobody likes it.

Port, sherry, and spirits already in the stash, perhaps a crusted port and a serious port vintage pending, we'll see.

[Lefty]

Ahhh, I don't know much about port...but I love it. Can you recommend a good vintage port? Cheers!

Well, 1963 is the one to find, Taylor's especially, but rich money these days , £200 and more.

Other than that, 1970, is the year , should be fairly easy to find , Berry bros etc, go for a big name , Fonseca etc
costs around £120 and up.

Good job Christmas/New year occurs the once annually

[Lefty]

Thanks very much, will see what I can find

Logical choice for back-up beers - good enough to hit the spot, bad enough that I won't drink them before the holidays

Either that or they were on special and I'm cheap...

[Stillnotready]

Ahem.
