Pyrenoids? Irvinetour?

Well obviously we wish him well in that endeavour but yersh, what is the
correct name for those big merry go rounds.

 

Carousel?

 

That works but I thought I had heard something German.
The one in question does incorporate a large organ so I'm sure he will want
to visit.

 

Good lord. How absolutely *awful*.

 

I think you're locking the Astable door...

Paul.

 

I drink quit a bit of white wine now. This week I have consumed a bottle of
Fino sherry and a bottle of Orvieto. There's a bottle of Chablis in the
fridge and the 5[1] bottles of wine delivered with my groceries by
Sainsburys yesterday included a bottle of cava.

[1] supposed to be 6 to get the extra 5% off but they repleced a bottle of
house claret with a bottle of mulled red, which was sent back as I hate the
stuff.

 

not least, presumably, because it will be stone-cold by the time you
drink it.

 

Try a nice well chilled Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Bliss.

 

I prefer the Bordeaux variety of sauvignon blanc, which has been married
with a little semillon...

 

That's very nice two, I'll drink both, just not together in the same glass.

Well, not for the first 8 glasses...

 

AC Entre Deux Mers throws up some very good, relatively inexpensive, ones.
Lidl do one for about £4, or 2 euros in the Saint-Louis branch.

Swot I wuz thinking.

OED: 13. mull, v.2
....trans. To warm (wine, beer, etc.) with the addition of sugar, spices,
fruit, etc., to produce a hot drink

Then I saw this:

4. mull, n.4
....In pl.: the lips of an animal; (in extended use) †the labia of a woman's
vulva (obs.rare).

 

Oh, I didn't know we had a branch in St. Louis.

<Googles>

Well, so there is. Must pop in tomorrow - some of our sub 2 euro
bottles are getting a bit on the low side. And there's always space
for another case or two of the Tarragona Gran Reserva at €3.99 a
bottle. Reviewed here (at £4.49 in the UK), it's damned good. Good
enough to serve to guests as a good wine, IYSWIM.

Glad to be of service. I was doing some research on lidl.fr to see where
your nearest branches are. Altkirch would be the one to call into to get
essential supplies in September, assuming I approach from the Saint-
Maurice-sur-Moselle direction.

 

Never heard of St M s M, but yeah, Altkirch is our 'normal' one, at
least it was until now.

 

it's in the lumpy bits between you & Epinal

this Canti Merlot Sangiovese made by Fratelli-Martini in Sicily is quite
pleasant, especially as it's in the 3 for £12 offer at Sainsburys. An
Industrial "super Tuscan" sort of thing.
