Many thanks, johnb; that's a useful site I didnt know about!Comment

It is a very useful website but I *think( it is mainly aimed at wine merchants and I'm not sure whether it includes all the supermarkets, though I have seen Waitrosewines listed there.Comment

Not quite on topic but it seems an appropriate place to share two spiffing Wodehouse quotes (from "The Man With Two Left Feet and Other Stories"):
....
"Wine," he said. "Wine, wine!" He spoke with the earnestness of a general calling up his reserves for the grand attack.
....
An angel in human form fluttered in - a waiter bearing a bottle.
....
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

... with today's roast duck, a bott of pécharmant (ch champarel 2009).
I first encountered pécharmant when posted to Paris in the early '90s, and it quickly became a favourite.
Haven't had it for ages, and was delighted to find this bottle. If you ever come across this under-appreciated appellation, I can much recommend it!Comment

If you're going to gnaw your leg off because of Lang Lang as promised elsewhere, you'll fall over after a couple of sips.Originally posted by Caliban View PostNever heard of it.... Duly noted, vinsdefrance Thank you
On the other hand, if you regularly fall over after a couple of glasses, the gnawed leg will either stabilise you and help you finish the bottle, or further unstabilise you so you fall over before you get the cork out.

Kind of you to think it all through in such detail, but I tend to be in a seated position anyway when enjoying a glass of wine, so.....Originally posted by Osborn View PostIf you're going to gnaw your leg off because of Lang Lang as promised elsewhere, you'll fall over after a couple of sips.

A Domaine Magnin-Gonon Pouilly Fuissé 2010, from the Coop. Perhaps a bit young but sounds promising. I haven't yet sampled it as I'm taking it with me tomorrow for lunch with relatives. I shan't, of course, insist that it be opened for the meal if they have already chosen something more suitable (but if we don't have it tomorrow, I'll perhaps suggest that I take it back home again with me: it isn't as if they're friends).It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

By the way, Waitrose (who are reputed to have the best supermarket wine range) currently have a 25% off offer. It is advertised as only applicable when you buy a case of 12 bottles online, but when I visited my local store it applied to purchases of 6 bottles, which could be mixed (if my memory is correct).
The offer ends on 6th Nov.Comment

The snag there is that it may not be the best accompaniment for the meal. I decided that probably Sunday lunch was less likely to be a white wine meal, so nipped out to the Coop again and chose a little Morgon Les Charmes from Domaine Brisson. We didn't have it with lunch but I didn't mind leaving that with my host.Originally posted by amateur51 View Post
The other thing about taking the Pouilly Fuissé was that if it wasn't opened straight away, in my absence it might not be properly appreciated. Since I'm now left with it, I shall get some mussels or perhaps a sole to go with it. And there are a couple of good cheeses that go with white wine.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.
