Red or white?

Err ..... red ...... is there any significance to the colour? She says tentatively, awaiting the retort back

Not really if it's personal choice we're talking about, but red is supposed to be better for you (antioxidants and all that jazz) although it also gives you worse headaches.

Yep, red used to give me headaches years back, but I think the reds aren't as heavy these days. Nearly all the whites taste similar to vinegar to me now so I tend to stay clear! No doubt someone will say how a great a certain white is, but everyone to their own!!!
I firmly believe red is very good for you - hence at least 2 glasses an evening Unless the other half opens a bottle, but only has one glass - shame to leave the rest!!! Before you say it, I know I can save it till next day, but what the hec!!

That's the trouble with wine - unless it's really good (= expensive) wine, you really can't keep it open longer than a few days, which means drinking a half bottle of wine in an evening if your other half isn't interested. Now, on the one hand that's not neccessarily a bad thing 
, but a glass or two a night is really all that you need, and all that is supposed to be good for you. I used to drink nothing but dry white, but about 10 years ago I got a taste for for red, and now I can't drink the white stuff, except for a nice Beaumes de Venise with summer pudding

... fine New Zealand wine
TRINITY HILL CHARDONNAY 1999 Fine, intense chardonnay that should impress the hell out of drinkers in Europe where a good chunk of it is destined to be drunk. It has fragrance and complexity, a fresh, pure fruit clarity and structure enough to suit architects and ascetics alike, although the latter may have some difficulty with its long, fine, flavour-faced finish. Thrilling stuff and if you can wait just a few more years, say, to 2005, it will be stunning.

Crikey!!!
We have a TV prog. here where the presenters (one lady called Jilly Goulden & another fella) talk about food & wine. Loony - I suggest you apply to be a presenter! What a descriptive description (ahem!) of this wine - it MUST be good!!! So when are you going to send me a crate of bottles?
Do you mean buy a bottle (or more) now and keep it till 2005 or .... wait for the 2005 production?

Lonnytunes - Winter Is Here Posted May 27, 2001
Buy a case now. Drink on special occassions. As time goes by the contents of each bottle will taste a little better. By 2005 it will probably be impossible to find any still for sale.
A word of warning. It isn't cheap.

Shirps Posted Jun 7, 2001
Yes and yes!! Try not to watch it though!! Someone I knows - he's about 78 - loves Jilly!!!! I'm still not sure if he's being sarcastic though!
Roger's 60th on Saturday - world's spinning around!!

Happy Birthday R (I wish I was that close to retirement)

Shirps Posted Jun 29, 2001
Oh no you don't, believe me!!!!
He's driving me mad!! When he goes away to the coast I get on with no end of various jobs, but when he's here it's "do that later", etc. I love him dearly though!
So, what did you think to the 'orrible photos? Did they come out OK? R took some more of just me, I loaded them on the puter & all I could see were lines, but I've got a clever little programme that with some great care & manipulation I can make all the lines disappear
Wish there was a magic potion that would do that to - maybe I ought to give up smoking, but that may just make me worse ?
Speak later
