What Was Your Most Recent Bottle of Wine?

Barbi, Beefy knows me far better than to take my advice on almost anything !!
certainly not wine .

even I know that you don't freeze wine.

well I do now.

aeons ago in deepest rural Portugal I was staying in a village where the women operated a huge barbecue based on sheets of corrugated metal on which the chicken was cooked. And to wash it down there was local vinho verde, which was kept in the freezer

Tasted great

good luck with that
all that money to spend on obscure noise music CD's

Will go towards a little pair of Genelec G-2s I've just ordered (to play obscure noise music through!).

In a fit of bravado at the breakfast table in July, following a Beef Oven sermon on the ills of alcohol, my children bet me £400 I couldn't do without the stuff for a year. The year is up in July. The money's as good as mine.

Why July 2014 ?

Thanks, that seems much more sensible than teamsaint's suggestion. It is now safely under the stairs

and the 72 hours thing is going to be overcome how?

Good heavens I assume this is a joke . It will be wrecked .

It should be fine for a couple of years just keep it somewhere dark and cool .

Some advice please, if possible.......

Just half an hour ago a friend gave me a bottle of wine. Chablis, 2011, Union Des Viticulteurs, with a metal cap.

I shan't be opening it until July 2014, will it keep alright?

I have never had a bottle of any type of alcohol in my possession for more than 72 hours before polishing it off, so I'm stumped!!!

Why July 2014 ?

Currently having a glass of Light elderberry 2012 very good
now must go and get the elderberries for the 2013 vintage

The Lady magazine.

Presumably (like Kenneth Horne reading 'Male Physique Monthly' for the 'gardening' section) you read it for the 'food and drink' section.... ?

... I am glad you liked it (it is nice, isn't it?) - but neither my pedantry nor my marcheggiani friends will quite let you get away with this. It is a wine from le Marche and not from Umbria. Wrong side of the watershed...

Proper got me juices flowing whichever side of t'Pennines it's from

... I liked the latest promo from the Wine Society :

'Thank heavens for The Wine Society. An institution that keeps us impecunious connoisseurs from abject despair'
(Those were the kind words of Henry Jeffreys recently in The Lady magazine.)

Last weekend featured two WS numbers:

A delicious Umbrian white from east of Gubbio - "La Monacesca" Verdicchio di Matelica, 2010

And the house red at Caliban Towers: Château "Le Clos du Notaire", Côtes de Bourg, 2009 (also a fave of yours, do I recall, vindetable?)

The latter has just re-entered the WS list so I have obtained a further case
