Knockaert injured? So it seems. Neto off to Brum? So it says on that thread. My legs full of DOMS pain from the Phoenix 10K on Weds? Definitely.

Time to hit up my Kaesler Stonehorse Grenache Shiraz, a full bodied (15% abv ) red from Quaff.

You?

 

Is it PotG?

I'm feeling that. I read your post on the other thread and shook the can in my hand to find its less than a mouthfuls worth so need to crack open another.

Then I open this thread.

Bunch of arse was apt.

I bought a bottle of Barnstormer dry cider yesterday from my local London.

At £3.99 for 3l it's not bad.

I'm going to take a wee dip into the gin lake I've acquired and largely ignore from one month to the next.

Tonight: Opihr with Fever Tree Elderflower (ooooooh, get me) tonic .

I'm not sure why we have three big bottles of the stuff as I'm pretty sure I didn't buy it.

On second thoughts, I think the elderflower might overpower the gin a bit and as Opihr is my favourite gin, I might use an alternative and save the Opihr for when I'm going a bit more traditional with the tonic.

A delightful jaboulet syrah (13.5%) having just smashed a baked camembert. Magnifique.

I think I need to MTFU. Just finished a mere 13% Brouilly.
Good beer recommendation after the Phoenix. My shout next time we meet.

Ah, thanks. Do they get to make wines in Canada or is it too far North?

The Niagara region produces some excellent Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir IMHO. I tend to find the smaller wineries are better.

If you like it that much, it's the night-time, it's the right-time, it's martini (-time)
