hic

first corporate chrimbo pressie just arrived: Chateau Closerie Mazeyres
Pomerol 2000 vintage. Oh...*just* squeezes in under our compliance de
minimis gift value at 22.95 a bottle.

Mmmmm

 

STFU you camp twat.

 

Oh, I thought this was going to be an interesting thread about Hydrogen
Induced Cracking...
Never mind;-)

 

"camp"?

that's a new one. I was going for "pompous" and "smug". Must have
clicked the wrong checkbox.

 

No, you're right. But it's a close call. Just leave it all right?

 

No Chrstmas gifts at 'the corporation', the Christmas do we have to pay
for out of our own pockets, but get the afternoon off.

I'll have to see if I can blag my way onto a few more "customer events"
instead.

 

"full of men, fucking"

 

I'm quite partial to a drop of Pomerol, as it happens.

 

aren't you quite partial to a drop of absolutely any fucking alcoholic
drink at all by now?

Oh, and don't read Hilary Mantel's "Eight Months on Gazzah Street"
while your out there. Actually, being in possesion of that book might
be prohibited under Sharriah law.

Read it when you're here, mind - cracking book.

 

Oh, hell yeah. I developed a taste for Pomerol a couple of years ago,
though.

Cheers.

 

<Waves empty glass hopefully>

 

Just drink? I've got that Guinness cake in the oven right now.

In fact, I'd better go and take it out and ice it.

 

Enjoy.

 

I thought that was just on spirits?

Actually, do Tesco actually sell red wine as expensive as that?

 

Sainsburys in Chiswick used to stock 120 quid bottles of some Penfolds
or other. 119 quid more than I'd pay for any aussie wine, that's for
sure.

 

I think that's going a bit too far, take Wolf Blass 'red label' 2003
cabernet merlot, Asda are knocking it out at 2 for £10 certainly quite
gluggable as a general purpose red.

 

Sainsburys are doing Mouton Cadet for a fiver a bottle.

I know which I'd rather go for...

 

"This is not a wine for drinking - this is a wine for laying down, and
avoiding."

 

I'll do a back to back tasting.. uhmmm... Tomorrow, perhaps.
